HOUSTON – Vicente Sánchez is 37 years old, but his play on the field has been ageless.
That’s good news for the Houston Dynamo and head coach Wilmer Cabrera, who’s come to rely heavily on the wily veteran as the Orange’s season winds down.
“This is Vicente's time,” Cabrera said at a Dynamo training session last week. And the former Colorado Rapid has responded to his coach’s call.
Sanchez has recorded two goals and five assists in just 204 minutes over Houston's nine games since Aug. 1. He's recorded an assist in each of the past three games, and his five helpers on the season match the MLS career high he set in 2015 with Colorado.
