EL PASO, Texas - It was a difficult night for El Paso Locomotive FC, who fell 2-0 on the road to Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC on Saturday night.

Looking for its first win of the season, El Paso faced a setback in the 22' when Colorado Springs' Ronaldo Damus capitalized on his chance in the box. Luck would not be in El Paso's favor for the remainder of the match, who battled to equalize and get back into the match.

Los Locos would concede a penalty in the final minutes of the match and it would be Damus who would step up to score to bag a brace, unfortunately extending El Paso's winless streak to nine matches to start the 2024 USL Championship season.

NOTES

* Brandan Craig made his first appearance on the pitch since going out with an ankle injury in Week 2 against Louisville City FC. * This was Locomotive's first defeat against the Switchbacks' in eight matches contested at Weidner Field. * Brian Clarhaut's red card will likely see him suspended for one match, pending league review and confirmation.
