Overview

• During a live edition of YouTube’s ‘Mira lo que habla’ on the Erick & Gonzalo channel, Evaristo “Chevaristo” Cruz struck Silvio Valencia as a heated exchange escalated from insults to blows.
• The argument followed Alianza Lima’s Copa Sudamericana exit to Universidad de Chile and featured taunts including “bobo” from Cruz and “puneño” from Valencia.
• Producers cut the broadcast and later removed the episode from the channel, though clips had already gone viral across social platforms.
• Valencia issued a statement apologizing for his language, said the term “puneño” was not intended as a racist slur, and confirmed he will not take legal action.
• Cruz apologized on X, acknowledged his reaction was wrong, and said he felt provoked and discriminated against as Chilean outlets joined Peruvian media in covering the incident.
