stepped up, like he has done twice already this season, and buried his shot low and to the left for a 1-0 lead for Oklahoma City. Deshorn Brown had a
good chance to extend the lead on two occasions. In the 54th minute, he faked a left-footed shot from the top of the penalty area, cut inside onto his right foot, but his strike was too close to Ketterer and the keeper was able to hold on and make the save. El Paso got its equalizing goal through a bit of good fortune. Andrew Fox split the defense with a ball over the top, and Luis Herrera was able to control and get off a volley between a couple of defenders that deflected off OKC’s Mekeil Williams to beat Laurendi in the 62nd minute. – From www.energyfc.com.
