The magical moment unfolded in the 13th minute of the Copa del Rey clash, marking an early highlight in the match.

Displaying exceptional technique and quick thinking, the USMNT star executed a first-time heel flick that found the back of the net, leaving spectators amazed by the audacity and precision of the goal.

Following De la Torre's remarkable opener, Celta Vigo continued their attacking prowess, earning a penalty that was confidently converted by Anastasios Douvikas.
