LAST TIME OUT
ELP 2:3 IND
AUGUST 19, 2023
Indy Eleven defeated El Paso Locomotive FC on the road Saturday night, 3-2, in comeback fashion. With the win, Indy has secured its most wins on the road in USL Championship action with seven, surpassing the six-win total in 2019. The Eleven are now 9-9-7, while El Paso falls to 9-10-5. The victory kept El Paso winless in 10 straight matches and gave the Boys in Blue its third three-match unbeaten streak in USLC action this season, which includes three straight victories for the first time.
El Paso took the lead in the 21st minute when a Marc Navarro cross found Eric Calvillo open on the back post for a header back across the net. The teams were knotted at seven shots apiece with one on target after the first 45, but the El Paso captain secured the difference maker in the frame.
The teams quickly traded strikes in the second half with Indy grabbing the equalizer from Sebastian Guenzatti in the 53rd minute. The forward’s seventh goal of the season, off an assist from Jack Blake, was quickly erased as El Passo’s Navarro scored in the 55th minute to retake the lead. The goal was 66th of Guenzatti’s USLC career, moving him up to a tie for eighth all-time.
Two unanswered came next for the Boys in Blue after Callum Chapman-Page scored his first for the Eleven off an assist from Adrian Diz Pe and Douglas Martinez nabbed his third of the season, compliments of a long ball from Younes Boudadi, to secure the match winner.
