The first opportunity came just seven minutes after kickoff when midfielder Solomon Asante ripped a shot from the right side of the top of the box, but his chance went wide right. Just two minutes later, forward Jason Johnson got space inside the box but sent a shot wide right.
In the 37th minute, Asante had another chance from just outside of the box, but he was denied by the goalkeeper. Five minutes later, Kevaughn Frater got in behind the defense and was one on one with the goalkeeper before getting denied with a kick save.
Phoenix Rising’s got one more good scoring chance in the match. In the 61st minute, Johnson was on the receiving end of a diagonal cross toward the far right post. The forward got his foot on the ball and sent it toward the target but Swope Park’s Adrian Zendejas denied him.
