ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — New Mexico United made history Sunday night on the pitch of Rio Grande Credit Union Field at Isotopes Park.

Around 11,447 fans will wait in anticipation for the big match Saturday. They braved the cooler temperatures and rainy weather to see the victory Sunday in United’s intense rematch with Phoenix.
