Playing for the first time in front of fans since the COVID-19 outbreak in March, the El Paso Locomotive came through with a goal at the 87-minute mark to achieve 2-1 win over the Salt Lake City (SLC) Real Monarchs Saturday night.
With 800 fans scattered throughout the stadium due to social distancing rules and restrictions both teams played 51 minutes with minimal scoring opportunities and very few shots on taken on goal.
While small in number the crowd was enthusiastic and animated in their support of the hometown team with the usual drumming and chants on a smaller scale than usual.
