Soccer:  Sanchez Comes Through Again

On Sunday July 5, Chile and Argentina clashed in a highly anticipated Copa De America final. The two teams fought themselves to a standstill as both teams failed to score in the regular 90 minutes and the additional 30 minutes of added time. Bravo (Chile’s goalkeeper) almost managed to keep a clean sheet through the whole game only allowing one ball to hit the back of the net. With the score 3-1 to Chile, Alexis Sanchez stepped up to try and give Chile their first cup in 99 years. Sergio Romero tried to stop the shot but was fooled by a bad panenka penalty. (A panenka is a chip shot right down the middle designed to throw off the goalkeeper.) Sanchez scuffed the shot, but still managed to score the decisive goal giving Chile the much-coveted final win. ​​​​​​​​​​​
