Cubo Torres feeling confident after goal against Seattle

It didn’t take long for the new-look Dynamo to notch their first win in 2017. A pair of first half strikes helped seal the home victory over the Seattle Sounders.

The Dynamo talked all preseason about striking early and fast, and relying on their defense to stand up to opponents’ pressure. Match 1 went according to plan.

It’s a young attacking core taking shape for the Dynamo in 2017. New signings Alberth Elis and Romell Quioto wreaked havoc on the defending MLS Cup Champs – the latter notching the game winner in the 42nd minute. Then there was the oft-perturbed Erick “Cubo” Torres, who drew the ire of Orange fans the past two season, finally getting on the business end of the scoresheet in a Dynamo jersey.
