In a thrilling USL JägerMeister Cup group stage match on July 19, 2025, El Paso Locomotive FC and Phoenix Rising FC battled to a 2-2 draw at Southwest University Park. El Paso dominated possession with 58.4%, and had more than twice as many shots as Phoenix (19 vs 8). Gabriel Torres and Wilmer Cabrera scored for El Paso, while an own goal by Kofi Twumasi and a late strike from Darius Johnson secured the draw for Phoenix. Phoenix ultimately prevailed 7-6 in the penalty shootout after full time.
The AI had predicted an El Paso win before the game, failing to anticipate the draw, despite predicting a not particularly balanced game. Both teams employed a 4-3-3 formation. El Paso's recent form has been inconsistent, with a mix of losses, wins, and draws in their previous USL Championship matches, which is further affected with a single win in the last five matches. Phoenix, similarly, has experienced fluctuating results, including a recent USL Championship win but a loss before that, although with two wins in the last five matches. Recent head-to-head games have been closely contested, with multiple draws, including a high-scoring 4-4 draw earlier this year. Given the recent form and the balanced head-to-head record, the penalty shootout victory indicates Phoenix's resilience in the USL JägerMeister Cup tournament.
