Chile are set to face Peru in the latest round of World Cup qualifiers, and one man has used peculiar methods to stop the Arsenal man.

Arsenal attacker Alexis Sanchez has been in great form recently, for club and nation.

The former Barcelona attacker scored 5 goals in two consecutive English Premier League clashes before jetting out to join the national team, whom he guided to a 2-0 victory over Brazil, a game in which he also found the back of the net.

La Roja will now head off to Peru to lock horns with Ricardo Gareca’s crew, who kick started their campaign with a defeat. Stopping Sanchez hot on his tracks will prove key to overcoming Jorge Sampaoli’s men, and one Peruvian has taken it upon himself to do so.

He is no ordinary man, however. He is a witch doctor, who was filmed on camera putting a curse on Alexis in order to thwart his pace from devastating his nation's defense. To make things more peculiar, the shaman used a turtle to carry out the curse. Watch in the video below.

If you are one to believe in such things, it may come as a worry, with Chile boss Jorge Sampaoli admitting that he knowingly risked the player’s fitness by playing him for 90 minutes in the clash with the Selecao.
