The Lights FC has seen yellow plenty this season. The Lights are tied for the most yellow cards in the USL with 18. They’ve played fewer games than the two teams they’re tied with. Defender Joel Huiqui leads the club with four yellows. We are the most yellow-carded team. Why? Because we are the most intense. So there’s a very thin line between being intense and being on time and being intense and being one second late.
Joel Huiqui and Isidro Sanchez talk about the Lights’ draw with Sacramento Republic FC.
The Las Vegas Lights FC are building their team differently than other USL clubs. Coach Jose Luis Sanchez Sola is the only Mexican coach in the USL. Sola is using his reputation and connections to sign Mexican players the Lights feel other clubs are overlooking. Lights signees Joel Huiqui and Gerardo Lugo both said Sola was the main reason they came to the team. Both have experience with the Mexican national team. The Lights are hoping to add more players like them for their inaugural season.
