The minutes' silence for Diogo Jota ahead of the Community Shield between Liverpool and Crystal Palace was booed and cut short.
Before kick-off at Wembley on Sunday between the Premier League champions and FA Cup winners, tributes were paid to the Portuguese forward.
Jota, 28, and his brother Andre Silva, 25, both died in a car crash in June. The two were travelling to northern Spain to catch a ferry to England when they crashed in the Spanish region of Zamora.
While tributes were observed before the players emerged from the tunnel by both clubs and sets of fans, sick fans interrupted the minutes' silence.
As both sets of players lined up around the centre circle to observe the moment of reflection, a small number of Crystal Palace fans could be heard booing and jeering.
The minutes' silence was subsequently cut short by the referee, who decided to call an early end after just 10 seconds to an emotional moment for the entire Liverpool squad, fans, and even those connected with Jota representing the Eagles.
TV cameras showed Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai and new signing Jeremie Frimpong all looking perplexed by the decision of those brainless few to boo the tribute.
TNT Sports commentator Darren Fletcher was left disgusted by the reaction, slamming: "Why on earth there are a certain few inside the stadium who would spoil that moment is absolutely beyond me."
Liverpool have retired Jota’s No.20 squad number and each shirt has ‘Forever 20’ ingrained for the season.
Despite being Premier League champions, Slot has a revamped team after spending close to £300million this summer.
Britain’s record transfer Florian Wirtz makes his first competitive start for the Reds. While there are also starts for Milos Kerkez, Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong.
Liverpool's new £79million striker opened the scoring with a cool finish from the edge of the box just five minutes into his debut. Jean-Phillipe Mateta soon equalised from the penalty spot after Ismaila Sarr was fouled by Virgil van Dijk.
But Liverpool retook the lead, poignantly on the 20th minute mark, when Frimpong also grabbed a debut goal after his mishit cross floated inside the far post.
