El Paso Locomotive FC's Rollercoaster Season
The El Paso Locomotive FC has experienced a remarkable turnaround from their previous season, where they struggled with only three wins at the mid-point of the United Soccer League Championship (USL). This year, they are in contention for the top positions in the league, boasting six wins. However, their momentum was halted by a 2-1 loss to rival San Antonio FC, dropping them from second to third in the Western Conference standings.
Head Coach William Cabrera criticized his team's performance, describing it as their worst of the season, marked by individual errors in defense. San Antonio took the lead early in the match and extended it with a late goal after a free kick. Despite a brief equalizer from Amando Moreno, the Locomotive faced missed opportunities and a red card, further complicating their efforts. San Antonio now sits in second place, while the Locomotive's upcoming match against Sacramento Republic FC presents a chance to bounce back and prove their capabilities.
