New Mexico United edged out FC Tulsa 1-0 in the USL Championship, with the only goal arriving in the 83rd minute from Greg Hurst. The home side dominated the ball throughout and eventually made the breakthrough late on.
Hurst settled a contest that had been goalless for 82 minutes, firing New Mexico in front with seven minutes of normal time remaining. FC Tulsa had kept their shape defensively, but the pressure finally told. Alonzo Clarke was booked in the 81st minute for the visitors.
The stats underline how one-sided this was: New Mexico had 71% possession, completed 466 passes to Tulsa's 153, and registered 13 shots to nine. Yet the margin stayed narrow until Hurst's strike, with New Mexico's keeper making three saves and FC Tulsa's two.
