Among the most impressive underdogs punching above their weight at the 2019 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is first-year USL Championship side New Mexico United. The men from Albuquerque – led by Devon Sandoval and Kevaughn Frater – won their first two games away from home against fellow USL Championship sides and shocked the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer (MLS) last time out in the Fourth Round. Their result is another road test of mettle down in Texas against 2016 Open Cup champs FC Dallas with a place in the Quarterfinals on the line.
