Synopsis

While a bloody civil war rages at home, El Salvador’s national team travels to Spain for the 1982 World Cup -- one of only two World Cup tournaments the nation has ever qualified for. In their opening match, they lose to Hungary, 10-1 – still the most lopsided defeat in World Cup history. But that goal, that one goal, scored by Luis Ramirez Zapata, remains a symbol of pride and joy for the tiny nation. This is the story of that goal and its continuing legacy.

MUSIC VIDEO: Chato Hernandez, guitarist of the band Friguey and composer/songwriter created the song “UNO: La historia de un gol."
