FC Tulsa News Release


TULSA - FC Tulsa rallied back with a late equalizer from ElMedkhar to share the points with El Paso Locomotive FC.

The first half of the Saturday night duel got off to a rather slow start. Both teams got shots off in the opening ten minutes but all were dealt with easily by the goalkeepers. El Paso held a majority of the possession in the first half, but Tulsa out shot the visiting team nine to seven.

In the 32nd minute, El Paso Locomotive forward Amando Moreno sent a long, towering ball to Wilmer Cabrera, who received the ball in front of defender Lamar Batista and took off towards the goal. Goalkeeper Johan Peñaranda came forward to stop the attack but was beaten. Moreno tapped the ball into the back of the net putting the visitors up, 1-0.

A slew of second half subs for both teams brought some much needed action. FC Tulsa held El Paso Locomotive to 30 minutes without a shot to start the second half. FC Tulsa had a few chances to open the second half, most notably midfielder Giordano Colli in the 50th minute but goalkeeper Jahmali Waite made a fantastic save.

The tides began to turn for the home side late in the match. Kalil ElMedkhar, who came on as a sub in the 64th minute, finally evened the score. Arthur Rogers sent a cross to Delentz Pierre along the endline who sent the ball in towards the goal. ElMedkhar, on a slide, got his foot on it and sent it to the net. Several El Paso Locomotive FC players were there to stop the goal, the ball was determined to have crossed the goal line.
