PREVIEW
Phoenix Rising’s early-season three-match homestand comes to an end when it hosts Oakland Roots SC at 7:00 p.m. Saturday, March 21, at Phoenix Rising Stadium. With a pair of results in its first two matches – a 1-1 draw against Orange County SC on March 14 and 4-0 win over San Ramon FC in U.S. Open Cup play – Rising will look to extend its run of results and climb the table in USL Championship play.
“I call them the trap games, but for me, these are the games I want to see real professionals that understand the job,” Rising Head Coach Pa-Modou Kah said following Tuesday’s match. “Obviously, we got the job done. We wanted to play better, but in the right moment we did finish our chances. That is a good thing to see.”
Rising will look to carry its finishing touch into its third USL Championship match of the season against a red-hot Roots side, which won each of its first two league matches. The club then hits the road for two consecutive away matches against FC Tulsa (March 28) and Sacramento Republic FC (April 4). Securing three points at home would not only close the stretch on a high note but also provide a boost of confidence heading into a more challenging travel period.
