Video: Alexis Sánchez remembers the Copa América: a Chilean Panenka overtakes Marseille

By the maximum penalty, the striker marked the opening of the account on the modest Hyères.

Olympique de Marseille was going through a complex situation. They drew against Hyères, in the fourth category of France, with one man less. The expulsion of Eric Bailly in the 15th minute made the Phocaeans uncomfortable, who could not find themselves on the lawn of the Francis Turcan stadium.

Despite having only ten players, the Olympics had the ball, but they failed to go deep or do the expected damage. Aerial play and set pieces were his greatest weapon.

Everything indicated that the game would end in a draw, but the Chilean appeared there . Cengiz Ünder received a nice through ball, held the ball and hooked. The Turkish striker received a subtle touch in the leg and fell to the ground. Judge Jérémy Stinat did not hesitate and ordered the maximum sentence against the claims of the local team.

Alexis Sánchez took responsibility at the most difficult time for Marseille. The workforce led by Igor Tudor could not win against the modest Hyères and the context was complex. Especially given the bad course of the national on penalties. The ghosts were there.

However, the Chilean brought out his quality and kicked like Panenka. For the nostalgic, the shot automatically recalls what the striker did in the 2015 Copa América final, not only because of the beauty of the shot, but also because he used the resource at a decisive moment. Finally, Marseille took the lead at half-time thanks to Niño Maravilla.
