EL PASO LOCOMOTIVE FC
Despite the challenge of traveling all week, the Locos were able to maintain their defensive composure despite continuous pressure applied by the Tampa Bay Rowdies offense, grinding out an important point on the road.
“I give the boys a lot of credit to battle,” Head Coach and Technical Director Brian Clarhaut said in a post-training interview. “We gave it our all and you could see after 30 minutes we were tired, but it was important for us to refuse to lose that game and hopefully that can give us some confidence going into this weekend.”
Locomotive’s last two performances at Tampa Bay and at Union Omaha in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup have shown positive defensive progression and that is valid reason for optimism. Heading into the weekend against Tulsa, the Locos need to maintain that standard of defense its shown recently and get the offense clicking up top in order to secure its first win of 2024.
FC TULSA
Despite winning their first match 3-1 on the road against Las Vegas Lights FC, Tulsa are currently on a four-game winless streak in the league, with three of those opponents being Western Conference teams. They’ll look to bounce back after a humbling 4-1 defeat to 2023 Eastern Conference champions Charleston Battery.
