Americans Abroad Midweek Rewind: De La Torre, Pulisic, and more

1 Shares

Luca De La Torre has showed positive signs featuring for Fulham’s U-23 side and the U.S. youth international carried that over to his first senior start of 2018.

The 20-year-old De La Torre scored his first senior goal and registered a pair of assists in the London club’s 3-1 derby victory over Millwall in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday. After setting up Joe Bryan in the seventh-minute for a 1-0 Fulham lead, De La Torre called his own number for the visitors second goal. His strike in the 52nd minute doubled Fulham’s lead which added to the comfort level for the Premier League side. De La Torre would set up Cyrus Christie in the 68th minute which capped the final score at 3-1 between the two clubs.

Elsewhere, Tim Ream got his first minutes of the season for Fulham in the victory. Christian Pulisic registered what proved to be the game-winning assist in a Borussia Dortmund Bundesliga romp. Matt Miazga got another 90 minutes for Nantes in a midweek defeat to Nice. Joe Corona scored a goal in a penalty shootout defeat for Club America in Copa MX Round of 16 play.
