New Mexico United form and stats

184 minutes! That's how long the Mexico goalkeeper Cody Mizell and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
It's the second away game in a row for New Mexico United, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Real Monarchs (placed 4th) in the USL Championship last time out. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Colorado Springs.
