Last Time They Met
In mid-August, Rising FC handed Lights FC a 2-0 loss in Downtown Las Vegas. Solomon Asante and Kevaughn Frater scored the goals for Phoenix.
Opposing Players to Watch
Solomon Asante: A USL MVP candidate, Asante is electric with the ball at his feet. He has speed, finishing, and passing that not many players have in the league. He has 13 goals to go with eight assists.
Chris Cortez: The big target forward is the club’s leading scorer with 17 goals.
(IF HE PLAYS) Didier Drogba: Do I really need to explain why one of the Premier League’s all-time leading scorers is a player to watch? He’s battled injuries in his final season, but if he is out there, he’s a focal point of any defense.
