ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico – El Paso Locomotive FC remained undefeated on the road in league play after a 2-2 draw against New Mexico United in Albuquerque, N.M. on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Rubio Rub\u00edn got the scoring started in the 12th minute, slotting one past the goalkeeper after collecting a pass from Alex M\u00e9ndez. <\/p>\n
New Mexico found a response right away from Greg Hurst who was able to put the ball in the back of the net just two minutes later to tie the match up.<\/p>\n
Hurst scored his second of the night ten minutes later to complete his brace and give New Mexico their first lead of the night. <\/p>\n
Locomotive headed into the half down 2-1 and looked to turn things around in the second after holding just 39 percent of the possession in the opening half.<\/p>\n
El Paso was able to flip the momentum after the break and get back to its style of play. Diego Abitia equalized for El Paso in the 86th minute with a bicycle kick that found the net after New Mexico\u2019s keeper found himself in no man\u2019s land. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Locomotive would see multiple chances in the final minutes but were unable to put another past the goalkeeper, earning a 2-2 draw to stay unbeaten in the Derby del Camino Real.<\/p>\n
El Paso will remain on the road as they travel to Oakland Roots SC on Saturday, May 9. Kickoff is slated for 8 p.m. MT.<\/p>\n
