Dynamo's Adolfo Machado inspired by Sounders' Roman Torres

Dynamo defender Adolfo Machado always will fondly remember watching Roman Torres score the winning penalty for Seattle Sounders FC in the 2016 MLS Cup Final.

Next week, though, a subplot to Machado's mission will be to make sure Torres does not have an opportunity to do it again.

Machado and Torres play on the same back line for the Panama national team. Last month, they celebrated together after Torres scored late against Mexico to help Panama clinch a berth in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Like any soccer player, though, Machado flips the switch when playing against a fellow Panamanian's club team.
