PREVIEW
Phoenix Rising extended its unbeaten run to seven straight matches last Saturday, as midfielder Charlie Dennis netted a brace and forward Rémi Cabral scoring from the penalty spot in a 3-3 draw against Oakland Roots SC on September 27 at Phoenix Rising Stadium.
This Saturday, Rising will play one of its final home matches against long-time rivals New Mexico United. With Head Coach Pa-Modou Kah’s side currently ranked seventh and New Mexico third out West, the stakes couldn’t be much higher with playoff positioning on the line.
“When it’s derby week you’re not playing for yourself, you’re playing for the fans,” Kah said. “When you get an opportunity in your lifetime, you have to take it. I don’t want to play football anymore, but I wish I could play derby games.”
