FOXBORO, Mass. — Erick “Cubo” Torres finally met his match.
With six goals through the Houston Dynamo’s first four games, the 24-year-old was arguably Major League Soccer’s most in-form striker entering the weekend. However, the New England Revolution’s new-look back line stymied the forward in a 2-0 win on Saturday afternoon.
“He’s one of the best strikers in the league,” said Revs’ center back Antonio Delamea. “I like the way he moves, he’s really hard to cover. We were maybe a little lucky back there when he went 1-on-1 with our goalkeeper.”
Torres, who is two tallies shy of 30 career MLS goals, finished the game without a shot.
