El Farolito, a semi-pro soccer team from San Francisco's Mission District, continues to defy expectations by advancing in the U.S. Open Cup. Balancing day jobs as a construction worker, electrical engineer, and delivery driver, the team's players show immense dedication to their sport while tackling the challenges of everyday life. As the last amateur team remaining in the tournament, they prepare for a formidable match against Sacramento Republic, a professional club. Past defeats, including a painful loss last season, fuel their hunger to prove themselves.
A construction worker, an electrical engineer, a delivery driver: These are the roles that define the players of El Farolito, who balance grueling jobs with soccer.
The team's blend of experience and youthful ambition has made El Farolito's run all the more dangerous this year, especially after last year's close defeat.
