Liga MX will be in action tonight for a second game at 10:30 p.m. when Santos faces Atlas. This game will be a historic one and a very special one for the sport. Laguna goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez will break a new record for longest career in Mexican league and most games played with 698. He will break this record against Atlas, the first team he played for. He made his debut in the league October 30, 1993 when he was 20 years old and 21 years later, after playing tonight’s game he will hold the record for most game played.

He doesn’t want this game to be focus on his record, but on the team’s win. “Obviously it is a game that we need to win, we shouldn’t divert the main focus and that is the team, we need to win to continue in the fight to qualify and that is why it Is special. It is a coincidence that I get to play against Atlas, the team where this all started, it is an honor,” Sanchez said.

“The most important thing is that I still play with the same emotion as if it were my first day, having fun, learning about my profession and I feel happy for this career that God has given me. I want to thank my family, my wife and my children; my mother, my brothers, my friends but above all my fans that go to the stadium to inspire me, clap, cheer and scream, that is my daily bread and I want to thank all those people,” he added.
