EL PASO, Texas - If you're going to find your finishing boots, you might as well do it in the Boot Capital of the World.

FC Tulsa rode a second half wave to a 4-1 victory over El Paso Locomotive FC on Wednesday night at Southwest University Park for their second win of the USL Championship regular season.

Things got hairy for the hosts early as a red card in the 11th minute put Tulsa up a man. Chances were pretty even through the first half, but the Scissortails were able to capitalize right before the break as midfielder Jeorgio Kocevski found the head of forward Remi Cabral in the second minute of stoppage time.

That goal from the Black and Gold appeared to fire up El Paso who dominated possession to begin the second half and converted a well-deserved penalty kick to level the match at a goal apiece. Their lead would last all of 99 seconds, however, as Cabral did his best high kick routine for his second goal of the match becoming the first Tulsa player with multiple goals in a match this season.

The Scissortails were able to extend their lead in the 73rd minute on a near identical goal to their first with a pair of substitutes connecting as forward Kalil ElMedkhar put a ball in the six-yard box that was finished off by fellow forward Nelson Pierre for his first goal of the regular season. ElMedkhar then decided to get in on the fun himself as he slotted home another ball from Kocevski in the 84th minute to seal the deal.

Cabral's brace brought him up to three goals in the regular season and five across all competitions, both team highs. Kocevski, meanwhile, became the first Tulsa player with multiple assists in a match this season. The night also saw two season debuts for the Scissortails with midfielder Giordano Colli making his return from injury and midfield Academy product Zion Siranga making his club debut just two days before his 18th birthday.

The Black and Gold continue their road trip on Sunday, May 3 as they face Monterey Bay FC at Cardinale Stadium. The match will be streamed on ESPN+ with live match updates on X/Twitter (@FCTulsa).

FC Tulsa is back in action at ONEOK Field on Friday, May 22 as it takes on Hartford Athletic at 7:30 p.m. in an interleague clash. Tickets are available at fctulsa.com/tickets or by calling 918-727-2231. The match will be broadcast on Fox23 and streamed on ESPN+.
