Roberto Firmino's incredible piece of skill that left commentator stunned

Roberto Firmino was in action for Brazil in their disappointing 1-1 draw with Panama on Saturday where he stunned a commentator with a brilliant piece of skill.

Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus was preferred to Firmino during the World Cup in Russia but Brazil boss Tite opted to start the Liverpool man over his compatriot in this

weekend's international friendly alongside Philippe Coutinho and Richarlison.

Firmino was unable to get on the scoresheet but did produce a sublime bit of skill that caught the eye of those watching the contest.

On the hour mark a long ball was played into Firmino in the box.

Instead he controlled and passed the ball all in one casual movement to set up his team-mate Lucas Paqueta.

But Firmino's incredible touch was spotted by commentator Ray Hudson who reacted: "Wow! Bobby Firmino! Look at this lay-off here, magisterial! It's a beautiful touch!"
