Dynamo's Vicente Sanchez still scoring goals in late 30s

Scoring goals never has been a problem for Vicente Sanchez, but because he is nearing his fifth decade on Earth, he said it is not lost on him how big a deal it was that he scored another one last weekend.

Sanchez, who the Dynamo signed in the off-season, had scored 11 MLS goals in three seasons with the Colorado Rapids, but really made a name for himself when from 2001-07 he scored 85 goals for Mexican club Toluca.

All those Toluca goals came when he was in his 20s. At 37 this year, Sanchez is not playing on young legs anymore.
