LAST TIME OUT
USL Championship Regular Season

ALL-TIME SERIES VS Monterey Bay FC
El Paso Locomotive FC holds an all-time record of 3-2-4 against Monterey Bay FC. The last time Locomotive dropped a match against Monterey was on September 1, 2023, which was a 2-1 loss at Southwest University Park. Since then, El Paso has posted a 2-0-3 record, with the most recent win coming earlier this season.
ABITIA SPARKS OFFENSIVE LINE
Diego Abitia has made the most of his opportunities this season. Although he has started only two matches and logged just 211 minutes in 11 matches in 2026, he has scored twice while registering seven shots and four shots on target. His average of one goal every 106 minutes is the best scoring rate on the roster.
MORA-MORA BETWEEN THE POSTS
Through seven league appearances, Locomotive keeper Sebastian Mora-Mora has recorded 26 saves while facing 39 shots on target, posting a 66.7 percent save percentage with one clean sheet and a 1.86 goals-against average. His average of 3.71 saves per match ranks among the best in club history.
MORA-MORA CLIMBING THE RECORD BOOKS
Keeper Sebastian Mora-Mora is climbing the Locomotive single-season record book. His 26 saves rank eighth-most in club history for a regular season, surpassing his own total of 18 saves from 2025 and sitting just 12 saves shy of Logan Ketterer’s 2020 campaign (38). Maintaining his current pace would place him among the top three single-season performances in club history with more than half the season remaining.
SECOND HALF OFFENSE
In 2026, Locomotive has done most of its damage after halftime, scoring 20 goals in the second half compared to 15 in the first half, with two more coming in stoppage time. At home, the club has been particularly dangerous coming out of the break, with six of its nine goals scored between the 46th and 60th minute. On the road, Locomotive has been a late-game threat, netting nine of its 11 goals after the 60th minute.
WORLD CUP
Carl Sainté made league history after earning a spot on Haiti’s 2026 FIFA World Cup roster, becoming one of four players from an active USL roster to receive a World Cup call-up. Haiti will compete in the World Cup for the first time since 1974, with matches against Scotland, Brazil, and Morocco.
