Career
Sánchez has played for Sud América, Tacuarembó, Deportivo Toluca, Schalke 04, América and Nacional. On 18 January 2008, he joined German club Schalke, where he remained for two seasons. He played in Mexico again for Club América. On 1 August 2010, he scored his first goal for Club América in a match versus Chiapas.
Sánchez made the move to Major League Soccer on 6 August 2013 when he signed for Colorado Rapids. On 14 September 2013, he scored his first goal for Colorado and forced an own goal in a 2-1 win over FC Dallas. Since his move to Colorado he has become an integral player for the club and is now the penalty kick taker for the club. To start the 2014 season Sanchez scored 4 pk goals in the first 3 games for Colorado.
Even with his play time being carefully managed and his appearances limited to substitutions in the last half of most games, Sánchez was a bright spot in an otherwise lackluster Colorado Rapids 2015 Major League Soccer season. Despite being a crowd favorite with the Colorado Rapids fans and the #2 scorer for the team, Sánchez's 2016 contract option was declined as the Colorado Rapids front office set out to acquire new talent in the form of players such as Marco Pappa, Shkëlzen Gashi, Jermaine Jones and Tim Howard. Sánchez went through the MLS Re-Entry Draft but was not selected by any other team.
International career
He played for Uruguay national football team in the 2007 Copa América and has won 31 caps for the national side, scoring five goals.
Personal
Sánchez holds a U.S. green card which qualifies him as a domestic player for MLS roster purposes.
