El Paso Locomotive FC Handed 2-0 Defeat Against Sacramento Republic FC
August 15, 2024 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
El Paso Locomotive FC News Release
EL PASO, Texas - In the first of two matches in California this week, El Paso Locomotive FC fell 2-0 against Sacramento Republic FC on Wednesday night.
The Sacramento press tested the Locomotive backline and the hosts would eventually break the deadlock in the 31 ¬Â² courtesy of Kieran Phillips. The rest of the first half would end up becoming quite a physical battle between two sides in the fight for a much-needed win.
Things cooled down in the second half and the Locomotive defense were back in action clearing out several of Sacramento's opportunities, registering 26 clearances throughout the match. With a bit of help by the post on three separate occasions, El Paso would manage to keep the game tight but unfortunately in the final minutes, Republic's Jared Timmer struck one in to double the lead and secure three points for Sacramento.
El Paso must now shake off tonight's loss and begin preparations for their upcoming match in Southern California against Orange County SC on Saturday, August 17, with the Western Conference Quarterfinal rematch set to kickoff on CBS Sports Golazo Network at 8 p.m. MT.
