Assists on team's only goal Torres assisted once to go with two shots (zero on target), three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 4-1 defeat to Inter Miami.

Impact Torres found a relatively open Ercan Kara at the center of the box during the 71st minute to help at least put his squad on the board in this contest. The assist was certainly nice for fantasy purposes but came far too late in the match to make a material difference in outcome. Torres is up to eight assists to go with eight goals in 32 appearances this season.

Scores goal against New York City Torres took five shots and scored a goal in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against NYCFC. He also created two chances, won two of two tackles and made an interception in the match.

Impact Torres bagged his third goal in his last five appearances on Sunday from a long throw-in routine, but Orlando is still yet to clinch a spot in the playoffs heading into Decision Day next weekend. The good news is that the team still controls its own destiny with two games remaining against direct playoff rivals Inter Miami and Columbus, so Torres will have all the motivation he needs to finish the campaign strong.

Impact Torres opened the scoring Saturday with a wonderful long-distance curling effort, his seventh goal to go along with seven assists in his rookie MLS season.

Scores goal against New York Torres scored a goal and created a chance in Saturday's 1-0 victory against the Red Bulls. He also won three of four tackles in the match.

Impact Torres was arguably his side's only bright spot going forward on Saturday, but he did his job in scoring the eventual winning goal, his fifth of the season to go along with four assists. He has lined up on both the left and right wing regularly for Orlando, and he's equally dangerous from either side.
