Match Recap: Houston 4, Red Bulls 1

It was the the Erick 'Cubo' Torres show in Houston, Texas, on Saturday night.

Torres helped the Houston Dynamo rout the New York Red Bulls, 4-1, by scoring a hat-trick at BBVA Compass Stadium. Torres' strong performance, which included a free-kick strike in second-half stoppage time, made him the first Houston player to find the back of the net in four consecutive games.

The Dynamo initially trailed in the match after Bradley Wright-Phillips netted 13 minutes in, but Dylan Remick found an immediate equalizer. Torres took over from there, smashing home the winner on a controversial penalty kick before halftime and then adding two more in the second half.
