Looking to continue its seven game unbeaten streak that includes four straight victories, the El Paso Locomotive (7-3-2) take on the Salt Lake City (SLC) Real Monarchs (3-1-8) tonight in a Group C matchup.
The Locomotive (7-3-2) are coming off a 2-0 victory over the Colorado Springs Switchbacks. A win in which they also clinched a playoff spot and moved into first place in Group C. Holding a one point lead in Group C over New Mexico United gives added significance to tonight’s game.
“It’s an achievement we set out to fulfill at the beginning of preseason,” Locomotive midfielder Richie Ryan said.
