Dynamo's Erick Torres named to MLS Team of the Week
Erick Torres on Saturday scored for the second consecutive game to start the season. On Monday, he scored an honor for his performance.
Torres was named to the MLS Team of the Week after he helped the Dynamo defeat Columbus Crew SC, 3-1, at BBVA Compass Stadium. His goal in the 65th minute gave Houston a 3-0 lead.
That goal, in which Torres used a soft touch to bring down a long diagonal pass and then stunningly hit a curling shot into the far post, is one of five nominees for MLS Goal of the Week.
Torres' teammates Albert Elis and Alex were named to the Team of the Week's bench. Elis scored the winning goal in the 35th minute. Alex had two assists in one game for the first time in his career.
