EL PASO - El Paso Locomotive FC tied the number four team in the Western Conference after being down one goal. It was a physical contest that saw seven yellow cards and one penalty. With this draw, El Paso continue their unbeaten streak and extend it to six matches.
El Paso's own Louis "Chapa" Herrera got his first start of the season alongside newcomer Drew Beckie, who recently signed from OKC Energy FC. In the 41' a game-changing penalty was awarded to Timbers 2 which saw Dairon Asprilla step up. Goalkeeper Logan Ketterer came up with a massive save to deny to the penalty, but Timbers 2 were able to scoop up the rebound and score. Four minutes later Omar Salgado who was the first player signed to Locomotive, netted his first goal of the season. After receiving a pass at the top of the box, the left-footed attacker cut to the right to create space off the defender and let a shot rip with his right foot into the bottom corner of the net.
"I am so happy for Omar, he deserved it. His work-rate for the team is superb and I know this will build up his confidence and keep things going," said Coach Mark Lowry. "I'm very proud of how the guys all played tonight. It was a fantastic performance and to have not lost in four road matches is brilliant."
