Venezuelan player: xenophobic chants in Chile after Carabobo win | OneFootball

The player Alexander González, from Carabobo FC of Venezuela, reported this Tuesday that fans at the stadium of the Chilean club Huachipato chanted xenophobic songs after the end of the second leg match of the Copa Libertadores 2026, in which his team qualified for the next round.

In a video shared on social media, the crowd can be heard singing phrases like “tiene hambre, los venecos tienen hambre” (“they are hungry, the Venezuelans are hungry”), a message that González condemned on Instagram. He responded in the same post: “La verdad teníamos más hambre, pero de goles, porque fuimos mucho más” (“in truth, we were hungrier, but for goals, because we were much superior”).

The right-back called for respect for the victory and mentioned the small Venezuelan crowd that supported the team in Chile. According to reports, the incident also included the throwing of objects towards the visiting delegation and has sparked debate about possible sanctions from Conmebol against the Chilean club, although neither the organization nor the clubs have officially commented so far.

The Carabobo FC defeated Huachipato by 2-1 in the second leg, consolidating an aggregate score of 3-1 and advancing to the third phase of the competition, where they will face Sporting Cristal from Peru.
