- Mexican fans have been accused of using a chant considered homophobic during their team's 2-0 victory against Ecuador in a World Cup round of 32 match.
- The chant, a Spanish slur that usually occurs when the opposing goalkeeper is taking a goal kick, has previously resulted in Fifa fines for the Mexican Federation.
- Fans reportedly used the chant at the five minute mark when Hernán Galíndez was taking his first goal kick of the match.
- The chant itself went viral at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, although it originated during a match between Mexico and the US in an Olympic Games qualifying tournament held in Guadalajara.
- It comes as three people tragically died from asphyxiation in Mexico City during celebrations after Mexico qualified for the last 16 of the World Cup.
