Sebastián Ignacio González Valdés (Spanish pronunciation: [seβasˈtjaŋ ɡonˈsales]; born 14 December 1978) is a Chilean former footballer who played as striker.
He began his football career at Colo-Colo of the first tier of his country, in where scored 27 goals in 77 appearances during four seasons. In June 2002, was sold for an undisclosed fee to Mexican Primera División club Atlante, believed high. In his first season with that club, the Apertura Tournament of the same year, Chamagol scored 13 goals in 19 appearances and in the following, the 2003 Clausura Tournament, he netted 16 goals in the same number of games, becoming the league's top scorer.
There were rumors saying that Gonzalez was asking for more money from Atlante, and that he was not happy to be there. They did give him a raise but that still did not help him want to stay in the team. He was sold to Tigres for about 3.5 million if not 4 million dollars. In the press conference he claimed that his goal was to score over 20 goals in the season. When asked why he had chosen such a high amount of goals by a reporter. He responded by saying "Last season I set a number of goals as my goal, and I beat that number. So I want to beat my goal of 20 goals this season."
After a successful pass at the club of Cancún, which back then played at Estadio Azteca as well as Neza 86 Stadiums, both at Mexico City, Chamagol was sold on January 2006 to UANL Tigres of the same league and country. In the next season, was loaned to Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz and the Argentine Primera División club in that moment, Olimpo de Bahía Blanca. In 2008, he signed for Liga de Ascenso of Mexican side León, in where was received by several fans in his first training of the club. In January of the next year, he returned to Colo-Colo on loan, being presented like the European style by the team's captain Arturo Sanhueza. In his third game for the club, González scored a goal in an historic 3–1 away win over Palmeiras at Parque Antártica.
