In 2008 he was loaned for 6 months to 2007 Mustang Cup runner-up La Equidad, his loan contract was later extended for 6 extra months. In his debut in Colombia Torres scored in the 2-3 loss against Deportivo Pereira. In 2009 Torres signed a loan contract for a year with current Mustang Cup champions América de Cali.[1] However, after missing the pre-season because of his participation in the 2009 UNCAF Nations Cup with Panama he was relegated to the bench where he would spend most of his matches. On March 30 he was released from America after having returned to his home late and intoxicated,[2][3] allegations Torres has denied.[4] Gaby returned to Panama to play with Chepo.
