Here's the game report from that match last month, couple of call outs:

"After 34 minutes De la Torre, playing in an unaccustomed right midfield role, opened his account to make it 3-0 and it remained that way at half time."

"Lucca De La Torre could go either way. His ability with ball at feet and creativity is unquestionable but he needs to up his game as a midfield player when we need to get the ball back and, above all, not to drift in and out of games."

From his Dec 19th U-18 game vs Norwich.

"The game was then largely played in midfield as both sides sought midfield control. It was largely uneventful until Lucas De La Torre went on a dribbling run and was brought down in the box resulting in a penalty. He took the penalty and hit it to the keeper's left hand side. The keeper was a tad unlucky as he got a hand to it but the power of the shot beat him. 1-0 to Fulham."

 

"Following the equaliser Fulham started to play shorter, simple passes to nullify the restrictive winds whipping across the training ground. Kay Voser became increasingly involved down the right wing and provided support to Luca de la Torre who was always looking to take on his marker.

It was de la Torre who set up Fulham’s third on 82 minutes. Voser played a pass just beyond him which appeared to be heading out for a goal kick. But, showing great determination, de la Torre reached the pass and played an inch perfect cross to Kait, who had the simple task of tapping in past a bewildered Vose.

Dude is a stud in the making

 

De la Torre, who normally plays with 21s now, played for Fulham's U18s today and bagged a goal. Marlon Fossey also played 90' at RB #USYNT

Called up by Tab Ramos for u-20's:

Scored in his first appearance with the first team:

Luca de la Torre was pleased to mark his maiden run-out with the First Team with the opening goal in Wednesday’s training game against Cobh Ramblers.

The 18-year-old glanced home Matt Smith’s knock-down to break the deadlock early on having made a burst forward from midfield.

And here's the video, 1st goal on the clip.

 

"The young American featured heavily in the early stages and his slaloming runs and neat footwork created space and enabled effective link up play with Jack Grimmer down the right wing."

"The 66th minute saw the re-introduction of an impressive de la Torre for Adeniran. He was involved immediately when a neat touch past a retreating defender saw the American surge down the left wing. His cross fell to Madl who sent a rasping shot inches wide."

 

Luca could see some time with the Fulham first team this year, just like Hyndman did at the same age.

 

On the bench with the first team at Cork today.
