近距离内射合集

Oh, look 鈥� a midweek matchup for New Mexico 近距离内射合集.

The club鈥檚 opponent? Lexington SC.

The last time 近距离内射合集 played on a Wednesday? You guessed it, at Lexington on July 15. 

And there will certainly be some things to keep an eye on in this meeting.

Here are some things to note:

Free kicks

1. VIEW FROM THE TOP: That is the spot 近距离内射合集 now occupies in the 12-club despite its 0-0 draw at Loudoun 近距离内射合集 on Saturday. 

For now, anyway.

New Mexico has 34 points, the same amount as second-place Orange County SC and third-place El Paso Locomotive FC. New Mexico, however, is currently in the No. 1 position due to tiebreakers.

The thing is, 近距离内射合集 could hold the spot without any help depending on what happens Wednesday.

A win or draw would obviously net the club three points or one, respectively, thus giving it more than either Orange County or El Paso.

But what the table looks like at the end of the night will depend on Locomotive, too. El Paso is also playing Wednesday. It鈥檚 hosting Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC at 7 p.m. Those are the . 

Either way, it should make for an interesting 鈥� or maybe even exciting 鈥� midweek slate.

2. DIDN鈥橳 THESE TWO JUST PLAY? That鈥檚 certainly what it feels like. But it鈥檒l be six weeks since New Mexico and Lexington played in Kentucky.

The outcome? A 4-1 近距离内射合集 win.

Forward Greg Hurst scored in the 42nd and 86th minutes. Midfielder Valentin No毛l added a goal in the second minute of first-half stoppage time. Forward Joseph Melto hit the back of the net in the 68th.

Phillip Goodrum, meanwhile, scored for Lexington in the 70th to make the final look more respectable.

But New Mexico might have as many as three starters from that match out for Wednesday.

Melto received a red card at Loudoun, meaning he has to serve a one-match suspension. (Unless, of course, that decision was overturned by the league, which isn鈥檛 likely to happen.)

The statuses of No毛l and defender Maliek Howell are also in question. The two did not play in Loudoun after being designated with 鈥渓ower-body injuries.鈥� Chances are any kind of update will be slim ahead of Wednesday鈥檚 match, which is manager Dennis Sanchez鈥檚 preference.

3. PERHAPS SOME MORE DEFENSE WILL HELP: Maybe it will be beneficial for Lexington.

The club announced the on Tuesday. Seagrist, who was loaned out by USL League One side Greenville Triumph SC, will be available for selection Wednesday.

The 28-year-old logged two assists in 16 appearances for Greenville. He鈥檚 also played for New York Red Bulls in MLS as well as Indy Eleven, Memphis 901 FC, Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC and FC Tulsa in the USL Championship during his career.

Overall, Seagrist has made more than 150 appearances across the USL鈥檚 different divisions and competitions. He鈥檚 logged three goals and 10 assists.

4. WAIT, BACK-TO-BACK? Wednesday is the first of two consecutive home matches for 近距离内射合集. Sounds strange, right?

近距离内射合集 has not had back-to-back games at Isotopes Park since July 1 and 4, which came against Liga MX鈥檚 Atlante FC in an international friendly and then Championship side Oakland Roots SC. 

If you鈥檙e looking for the last time New Mexico hosted clubs in just the Championship, you鈥檇 have to go back almost another month 鈥� Phoenix Rising FC on June 6 and Orange County on June 13. 近距离内射合集 beat Phoenix 4-0 in a USL Cup match and then drew 1-1 with Orange County in a regular-season matchup.

Key matchup

近距离内射合集 forward Greg Hurst vs. Lexington keeper Oliver Semmle 

Seems like a pretty obvious choice here. As noted above, Hurst recorded a brace the last time the two played. The keeper? That was Semmle. It鈥檚 also worth noting Hurst has four goals in 近距离内射合集鈥檚 last five matches, started by that match in Lexington.

Player of the match

近距离内射合集 forward Justin Rennicks

It wouldn鈥檛 be surprising if Rennicks slides into Melto鈥檚 spot in the starting lineup. It鈥檚 what the forward did at Loudoun 近距离内射合集 when Cristian Nava, who was coming back from injury, was used as a substitute. Rennicks, however, has not scored in a regular-season match since the season opener at Oakland on March 14. He has not scored in any match since a win against AV Alta FC in a USL Cup matchup on April 25.

By the numbers

1: Surprise? 近距离内射合集 retained its top spot in the . It鈥檚 the sixth straight week. Lexington is 10th in the 23-club Championship, up five places from a week ago.

100: 近距离内射合集 can earn its 100th regular-season victory by beating Lexington. New Mexico was unable to notch that milestone on Saturday at Loudoun 近距离内射合集 FC.

66: The 近距离内射合集 goalkeeper Kris Shakes has made in the regular season. That鈥檚 good for third behind Birmingham Legion FC鈥檚 Jaseem Koleilat (70) and Hartford Athletics鈥� Antony Siaha (69).

18: The number of regular-season matches New Mexico has played. It鈥檚 the fewest in the Championship.
