Fans had to wait to celebrate Alexis Sánchez's first goal this summer, but their patience was rewarded with an impressive volley.
Five minutes into the second half, Alexis managed to send the ball into the back of Jaime Penedo's net with a right-footed volley, paving the way for Chile's win against Panama.
This wasn't an easy game for Chile, as Panamá took an early lead thanks to a mistake by Gonzalo Jara and Claudio Bravo. Edu Vargas' brace made things easier for La Roja, but it was Sánchez's golazo that stole all the headlines.
