El Paso Locomotive FC Fall 2-0 to Las Vegas Lights FC
July 13, 2024 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
El Paso Locomotive FC News Release
EL PASO, Texas - El Paso Locomotive FC fell 2-0 to Las Vegas Lights FC on Friday night at Southwest University Park.
Despite managing to string a number of strong opportunities in the first half, the Locos were unable to capitalize and went into the break deadlocked with Las Vegas. In the 64 ¬Â², Locos defender Noah Dollenmayer would make an impressive goal-line clearance only for the Lights' Coleman Gannon to run in for the rebound and open the scoring for Las Vegas.
The Locos battled to try to break through the organized Lights defense but despite best efforts, struggled to find the equalizer. As the match approached its end, El Paso's Lucas Stauffer unfortunately deflected a ball into the Locos net to double the opposition's lead and secure victory for the Lights.
