VIDEO: Luca de la Torre lights it up! USMNT star scores OUTRAGEOUS heel-flick goal in Celta Vigo's Valencia Copa del Rey clash

In the 13th minute of the match, Valencia goalkeeper Jaume Domenech managed to fist a corner kick half-heartedly as the ball went as far as Kevin Vazquez who was standing inside the box. The right-back, in turn, headed the ball down towards De la Torre who, with a first-time heel-flick, found the back of the net.
