CF MontréalOn bench for MLS debut
Sanchez (not injury related) is on the bench to face Columbus Crew on Wednesday.
Analysis: Sanchez will look to see his first minutes as a Montreal player as a backup for either Hennadii Synchuk on the right flank or Prince-Osei Owusu in the middle of the front line. The experienced attacker should add creative talent to his new club's offense and could soon become a regular set-piece taker when given meaningful time on the pitch. However, he might still need a few weeks to be ready to start.
Sets up winner
Sanchez assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.
Analysis: Sanchez had a goal ruled out for offside in the 48th minute but responded brilliantly by setting up Akor Adams' stoppage-time winner with a deft touch. He has now contributed to goals in back-to-back games, both of which secured crucial three points for Sevilla.
Nets winner
Sanchez scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 1-0 win over Real Sociedad. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 75th minute.
Analysis: Sanchez replaced Isaac Romero at halftime and scored the only goal of the game in the 50th minute, assisted by Neal Maupay. The goal put them one point clear of the relegation zone. Sanchez has come off the bench 14 times this campaign, and three of his five goals this campaign have been as a substitute.
