Some scoreless draws, it seems, are a bit more satisfying than others.
New Mexico United survived playing a man down for the final 25 minutes plus stoppage time and came away with a point after a 0-0 draw with visiting El Paso Locomotive FC on Saturday night.
There were not many dangerous scoring opportunities for either team but a season-best crowd announced at 10,303 at Isotopes Park still found plenty to get riled up about. Fans got their money’s worth instead from plenty of physical battling between the USL Championship Mountain Division rivals.
