FIFA to investigate Ecuador fans' Chile chants

Ecuador are facing a FIFA charge over chants made by their supporters during their 2-0 win over Qatar on Sunday.

FIFA's disciplinary committee confirmed it has opened proceedings against the Ecuadorian Football Association on the basis of article 13 of its disciplinary code.

The chants in question are understood to have been directed towards Chile, who had brought a legal case against them prior to the tournament over an alleged ineligible player.

In an unrelated incident, Ecuador fans chanted "we want beer" during the match in protest at organisers' belated decision to ban the consumption of alcohol at games.
