El Paso Locomotive FC News Release
EL PASO, Texas - With Lexington SC's draw against Sacramento Republic FC, El Paso Locomotive FC have secured a postseason berth for the first time since 2023.
There is still seeding to be determined for Los Locos in the final two matches of the regular season. Locomotive are currently in fourth place in the Western Conference and are three points ahead of San Antonio FC, their final opponent in league play. The magic number for playoff soccer in El Paso currently stands at four points.
Locomotive can clinch a home playoff match this weekend with a win over FC Tulsa and a draw or loss from San Antonio. If the gap between the two teams is three or less points after this weekend, things would come down to the result in October 25's Copa Tejas clash in the Alamo City.
