MONTERREY, Mexico — For the fourth time in his career, Jose Torres stood with a Liga MX winners' medal around his neck. The American midfielder was an unused substitute in Tigres' 2-1 victory over Monterrey which clinched a 3-2 aggregate victory and the club's sixth Liga MX title.
The Texas native has seen his playing time slide since the 2014 Apertura, culminating in a single league minute for Tigres this season. Still, he was ecstatic to celebrate his third title championship since joining Tigres from Pachuca in 2012.
"Unfortunately, I didn’t play many games this season, but we’re a team," Torres said.
