OLYMPICS: Erick Torres comes off the bench in Mexico's 2-2 draw vs. Germany

Erick "Cubo" Torres made his Olympic debut off the bench in Mexico's 2-2 draw vs. Germany on Thursday afternoon in Salvador, Brazil.

The defending Olympic gold medalists took the lead in the 52nd minute as Oribe Peralta headed in a corner kick for his fifth career Olympic goal. The Germans equalized six minutes later via first half substitute Serge Gnabry, but Rodolfo Pizzaro put Mexico back on top in the 62nd minute by pouncing on a rebound off the crossbar.

Torres entered the match for Peralta in the 74th minute, and nearly set up a goal shortly after.
