Comes off injured in SKC trip
Torres limped off the field with a discomfort in the weekend's duel versus Sporting Kansas City.
Analysis: Torres had to leave his place on the field to Besard Sabovic after taking a knock in the first half. The youngster has been busy lately, making 11 consecutive league starts, so his exclusion from future games would force the team to modify its midfield setup. His status is uncertain until there's a clear evaluation of the injury.
Provides assist in comeback
Torres assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-3 draw against San Diego FC.
Analysis: Torres supplied the cross for Brandon Vazquez's header that started Austin's three-goal comeback and also struck the post during the first half. He has now started seven consecutive matches after opening the campaign in a reserve role, highlighting his growing importance in midfield. Torres has one goal and three assists across 14 MLS appearances this season.
Two tackles in start
Torres generated two tackles (one won), three clearances and one interception in Saturday's 0-0 draw against FC Dallas.
Analysis: Torres continues to be a regular starter in Austin's midfield and has now made six straight starts. He recorded a season-high 56 accurate passes against [Opponent] and added two tackles, three clearances, and one interception. Across those six games, he has registered 14 tackles, seven interceptions, nine clearances, and three chances created, though he remains without an assist.
Nets first MLS goal
Torres scored a goal with his lone shot during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Dallas.
Analysis: Torres found the back of the net in the 57th minute leveling the score at the time. The goal was the first in MLS for Torres as Sunday's start was the first of his career. The 18-year old could carve out a larger role after this performance.
Sets up two goals
Torres assisted twice to go with zero corners and two chances created in Wednesday's 3-1 win against Seattle Sounders FC.
Analysis: Torres replaced Facundo Torres in the 83rd minute and had a massive impact as a substitute, as he assisted two goals, first for Myrto Uzuni in the 86th minute and then for Christian Ramirez in the 91st minute. Torres was able to make an extraordinary impact with just 6 touches. This was his third appearance of the season, all as a substitute, as he currently plays for Austin FC's junior team.
