Locomotive to host New Mexico Sept. 26 in match originally slated for Albuquerque

A Sept. 26 match between the El Paso Locomotive and New Mexico United that could decide first place in the USL Championship Group C has been moved to Southwest University Park from Albuquerque.

As was the case with the Sept. 5 match between the clubs, New Mexico is unable to host home games because of COVID restrictions. This will mark the fourth time this season El Paso has hosted its rival.

This will be New Mexico's 15th match in the truncated 16-game regular season and El Paso's 14th. Heading into this weekend the Locomotive have 24 points to United's 23 and both teams have four games remaining.
