ESTADIO NACIONAL, SANTIAGO - You would never have guessed 99 years of history were weighing down on Alexis Sanchez's shoulders as he cheekily dinked the winning penalty past Sergio Romero.
La Roja's star man was ice cool, dispatching Chile's fourth spot-kick of the shootout into the net, putting his side 4-1 up, a winning margin, after 120 goalless minutes.
After playing poorly against both Uruguay and Peru in the quarter-finals and semi-finals respectively, there were worries about how effective the Arsenal man was going to be in the final.
He played 52 games in a long season with Arsenal and netted 25 goals.
