New Mexico United finished their preseason unbeaten, drawing on the road with Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC by a 0-0 final score. United trotted out 17 players over the course of the match, which saw key chances from Amando Moreno, and substitute Cristian Nava each steered just wide of frame.
Alex Tambakis was excellent in goal, making three saves to earn his third shutout of the preseason. Moreno’s big chance came in just the second minute, as he headed a crossed ball across the mouth of goal and just off target. Nava – who subbed on in the 69th minute – had the best chance of the second half just six minutes later, hitting a left-footed strike from the top of the box that curled just wide of the post.
Up next for New Mexico is the Black & Yellow Match – an intrasquad friendly to be played at the First Financial Training Center next Saturday, March 11th. Tickets can be purchased at https://seatgeek.com/new-mexico-united-tickets/.
