It was a match that should not have been played for a number of reasons and it turned out to have a place in US soccer history as the only official league match played over parts of two days and months. It happened when Real San Jose traveled to visit the El Paso Indios at the beginning of the lower league explosion which saw the number of amateur clubs playing at the national level grow 10 times between 2007 and 2022. Midnight Game is based on the true story of how upstart Real San Jose survived a seemingly doomed road trip from Silicon Valley across the southwest to face the would be National Champion El Paso Indios, who were a true second team to a professional Mexican soccer club.

Real San Jose scored on an 89th minute penalty kick to secure a hard earned 1-0 victory over the Richmond Sol FC on Saturday, February 12, 2022 at PAL Stadium in San Jose. It was the third straight victory for RSJ who now travels to first place Atletico East Bay this weekend. The result of that match will have a major affect on RSJ seeding in the NSL Pacific playoffs.
