El Paso Locomotive FC Fall 1-0 to FC Tulsa
EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- El Paso Locomotive FC fell 1-0 to FC Tulsa on Saturday night at Southwest University Park, extending the search for a first win in 2024.
Locomotive came into tonight's match half looking to build off the momentum of last week's draw against Tampa Bay Rowdies. Yet after a slow first half, Tulsa would be the first to find the back of the net and were able to maintain that lead for the remainder of the match.
El Paso must now take time to rest and analyze before their road match at Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC next Saturday, May 4.
