VIDEO: Alexis Sanchez starts play, finishes it with pinpoint diving header vs. Bolivia
Alexis Sanchez is just a delightful footballer to watch.
The Chilean energizer bunny, whose relentless stamina combined with his skill on the ball and in front of goal made him one of the best players in the Premier League this season, showcased all of his talents over the course of a few seconds Friday against Bolivia.
Sanchez, 26, gave the host nation at the 2015 Copa America a 2-0 lead in the opening half of its final group match, running at defenders, dishing the ball off and darting into the penalty area before laying out with a diving header that was stunningly accurate.
Most players would struggle to find the net with such precision - into the bottom corner - if they were using their feet, and yet the attacking dynamo had no problem despite having to utilize his cranium.
Given his inability to score with his feet thus far in the tournament, perhaps he should consider his skull as a viable scoring weapon more often:
13 - @Alexis_Sanchez scored his first goal in this #CA2015 with his 13th shot attempted in the competition. #Gunner
