Sánchez Yacuta began his professional career in the 1992/93 season with his “hometown club” Club América, for whom he made his debut in the Mexican Primera División on October 10, 1992 for the full ninety minutes in the 1:3 away defeat against C.F. Monterrey celebrated. In total he made nine first division appearances this season and was loaned out to Correcaminos UAT in the coming season, where he only made two appearances. He spent the following 1994/95 season in the service of Puebla F.C., where he made 23 appearances and scored three goals. For the 1995/96 season, Sánchez, who had made his breakthrough with the Camoteros, was brought back to Club América, for whom he made 179 first division appearances in the following six seasons, but - in contrast to his "goal-hungry" time in Puebla - didn't score a single goal.[3]
Before the 2001/02 season he was signed by C.F. Pachuca, with whom he won the Mexican football championship for the first time in his first half-season, the Torneo Invierno 2001. Further titles followed in 2002 when he won the CONCACAF Champions' Cup and in 2003 with another championship title in the Apertura 2003. Sánchez Yacuta made his last first division appearance on November 13, 2004 in the 1:4 defeat at CF Monterrey, against whom he played twelve had made his debut years before.
When the now 32-year-old player's performance gradually declined at the end of 2004, he played a total of 19 league games for the branch team Pachuca Juniors in the first half of 2005 before ending his active career in the 2005/06 season with the then second division club Indios de Ciudad Juárez.
In 1996, Sánchez made two test appearances for the Mexico national football team: first on February 7, 1996 in the 1-2 defeat in Chile and on May 18, 1996 in the 5-2 win against Slovakia.
