El Paso Locomotive FC Secure a Point Against Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC

El Paso Locomotive FC News Release


COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado - El Paso Locomotive FC picked up a road point on Saturday night in a 1-1 draw against Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC at Weidner Field in their third match in seven days.

Robert Coronado turned in his first goal of the season for Los Locos after a beautiful setup from Amando Moreno. Locomotive were up a man for nearly the entire second half, but none of their 12 shots became a match winner.

The hosts applied some early pressure and broke through quickly with a 12th minute strike. It only took 109 seconds for Los Locos to respond, however, as Coronado rifled home a cross from Moreno to tie things up. Locomotive controlled possession for the rest of the half but entered the break still knotted up.

Just 13 seconds into the second half, Colorado Springs went down to ten men after a red card for a reckless offense. From that point, El Paso controlled 76% of possession and put eight shots on target but could not find the back of the net as the club settled for the road draw.

GAME NOTES

Robert Coronado scored his first goal of the season for Locomotive.

Los Locos have scored three goals in the first 15 minutes and eight goals in the first half, both the most in the USL Championship this season.

FORECAST: 38ºF, partly cloudy
