WATCH: Roberto Firmino scored a preposterous no-look goal for Brazil today

Aiming is so 2014

It was touted as the battle of Neymar v Sanchez but it was a different player entirely who pulled off the outrageous as Brazil took on Chile in a friendly at the Emirates.

The only goal of the game came after 73 minutes and it was a bit of a doozy.

23-year-old Roberto Firmino latched onto a defence-splitting pass before rounding the goalkeeper masterfully.

Then came the flair though as the Hoffenheim midfielder didn’t just carefully slot home into the open net. Rather Firmino looked the opposite way entirely and fired home to add insult to injury.

We’re all about this!
