Chilean Cup
Chimbarongo FC used their social networks to criticize Channel 13’s coverage of the win that Universidad de Chile gave them in the Copa Chile 2023.
University of Chile lived a historic day in front of Chimbarongo FC. For the round of 16 of the Central South Zone of the Chilean Cupthe blues defeated the Wicker team by a final 10-0, which competes in the Third Division A of our national football.
It was the biggest win for the Romántico Viajero in his history in professionalism, and a tough defeat for the team from Colchagua. The fall was widely reported by the national media, although there was coverage that was not liked in Chimbarongo: that of Channel 13.
In the sports block of the aforementioned television channel, “Chimbarongo returned with a basket of goals” was the headline chosen to report on the win. The play on words alluding to the renowned wicker crafts that are made in the Chimbarongo commune did not please the club at all.
The cast used their social networks to leave a strong message, where they criticized the Luksic Group channel for making fun of them. “The same channel that has covered so much in the history of Chile today makes fun of us,” they launched through their Twitter.
“We are a humble team that strives to become great. Our people, our crafts and our people deserve respect. Thanks to all the other media for their good vibes,” they added. More than eight thousand reactions have the post, which has received wide support from soccer fans.
