Luca De La Torre is starting to find some form for Spanish side Celta Vigo.
The U.S. men’s national team midfielder came off the bench and scored his second goal of the season despite Celta Vigo’s 2-1 Copa Del Rey loss to Real Sociedad. De La Torre logged 45 minutes for Rafa Benitez’s squad, scoring for the second time out of his past three appearances in all competitions.
With Celta Vigo trying to force extra time, De La Torre’s left-footed shot nestled into the back of the net in stoppage time. However, this would be the closest that the hosts came to a comeback as Real Sociedad advanced to the semifinals.
Celta Vigo resumes La Liga action on Sunday with a tough home clash against league-leaders Girona.
Elsewhere, Antonee Robinson and Fulham suffered EFL Cup elimination. Sergino Dest, Malik Tillman, and Ricardo Pepi suffered elimination from the KNVB Cup. Dante Polvara and Aberdeen tied St. Johnstone in SPFL action. Brenden Aaronson appeared off the bench but Union Berlin lost to Bayern Munich.

Aaronson needs to leave Union Berlin that coach is a hot head aggressive Looney Toon. Wow!
