Erick Torres scores again in Dynamo preseason victory
Erick Torres' 2017 preseason redemption tour continued to build steam on Wednesday night.
Torres' fifth preseason goal stood as the winner as the Dynamo defeated the New England Revolution, 2-0, in the opening game of the Desert Diamond Cup in Tucson, Ariz.
Both of Houston's goals came in the second half with Alberth Elis adding the second tally in the 89th minute.
Torres scored in the 54th minute when he faced up to a New England center back and deflected the ball into the open field toward the goal. Torres ran onto the ball all alone.
He hesitated at the top of the penalty area to get the goalkeeper flat-footed then finished at the near post.
