Why this matters in The El Paso
The Locomotive's loss to Monterey Bay marks a turning point in their season, as they were held scoreless for the first time after finding the back of the net in each of their first 18 matches. This setback will test the team's resilience as they head into their next matchup against Las Vegas Lights FC on July 4. El Paso fans will be watching to see how the team responds to this defeat, particularly after coming close to scoring on several occasions, with Alex Mendez and Beto Avila seeing their chances denied by the post and crossbar. The injury to Sebastian Mora-Mora, who made three key stops before being subbed off, is also a concern, and his status will be closely monitored ahead of the upcoming match. With the team's record now at 4-5-4, the pressure is on to bounce back and get back on track in the USL Championship.
