From London to the Lone Star State, Cristó Fernández is experiencing a bit of life imitating art with his professional soccer debut.
The Ted Lasso star, who signed with El Paso Locomotive FC in May, played his first game with the second division team on Saturday against New Mexico United, during which the Texas team lost 2-0 in the United Soccer League Cup match.
Fernández took to the field as a substitute for forward Rubio Rubín in the 79th minute of Saturday’s home match at Southwest University Park, which was attended by more than 5,000 fans.
