El Paso Locomotive Travels to Las Vegas for Friday Night Road Match
May 26, 2022 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
El Paso Locomotive FC News Release
EL PASO, Texas - El Paso Locomotive FC (5-6-2, 17 pts., West-5) travels to Las Vegas, Nevada to take on Las Vegas Lights FC (4-4-4, 16 pts., West-7) at Cashman Field on Friday, May 27. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. MT and will be broadcast live on ESPN+.
Since the last meeting between El Paso and Las Vegas, a lot has changed. The two sides clashed at Southwest University Park in late March, playing a nine-goal thriller in the second the half. Locomotive was on the losing end of the 5-4 result, but the Locos' goal leaking woes are behind them. While the Locos conceded five goals that night against Vegas, in the last five matches, El Paso has only conceded four, with two clean sheets. The recent defensive form without a slip in the attack has pushed Locomotive into a record of 3-1-1 in the last five games and to fifth in the Western Conference.
Since the March thriller, Las Vegas Lights FC have found themselves in a winning drought. In the nine games played since the Locos and Vegas last met, Lights FC have only won twice. The last win came against Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC at Cashman Field in mid-April. Winless in the last five (0-2-3), Vegas is sliding down the Western Conference, searching to break the skid as they sit sixth in the West. Sitting just a point apart in midtable, Locomotive and Lights FC are fighting for Western Conference positioning as the two quickly approach the halfway point of the season.
