Mexico’s 2-0 victory over Ecuador in the FIFA World Cup round of 32 at Estadio Azteca secured a place in the knockout stage but drew attention to the return of a banned chant. Goals from Julián Quiñones and Raúl Jiménez gave Mexico a clean sheet and advanced the team to face England. Despite education campaigns by the Mexican Football Federation, sections of the crowd chanted the slur during the match. The incident marks the fourth straight World Cup where the chant has been reported. FIFA may review monitoring reports and consider further sanctions, following earlier fines of 140,000 Swiss francs upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
