El Paso Locomotive FC Fall 2-1 to New Mexico United – KVIA
EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — El Paso Locomotive FC fell 2-1 at Southwest University Park to rivals New Mexico United on Saturday night.
Locomotive goalkeeper Jahmali Waite would concede a penalty to give the visitors a penalty kick, slotted in by Greg Hurst to give New Mexico the early lead.
Minutes later, El Paso’s Javier Nevarez would play the hero, first intercepting the ball atop the New Mexico box then striking the back-heel pass from Eric Calvillo with precision into the bottom right corner of the net to level the score.
In the 63′, the Locos thought they had made a comeback following Joaquin Rivas’ tap-in finish off a Nick Hinds cross, only for the goal to be ruled offside. Not too long after, New Mexico veteran Daniel Bruce would slot the eventual game-winner to secure three points for the visitors.

- Javier Nevarez scored his second goal of the season with his first-half equalizer.
- Eric Calvillo registered his first assist of the season with his setup for the Nevarez goal.
