Phoenix Rising FC closes out a three-match homestand Friday night facing the worst team in the USL’s Western Conference in LA Galaxy II.

PHOENIX RISING LAST WEEK: Last Saturday Phoenix Rising drew 1-1 with Fresno FC. After losing D Amadou Dia after 25 minutes due to a red card, Phoenix Rising held off Fresno from scoring until the 47th minute, but a last-minute goal from Alessandro Riggi salvaged the draw for 10-man Phoenix Rising. Dia will be unavailable for Friday’s match, but MF Kevon Lambert will be returning from his one-match suspension from a red card the previous game against Swope Park Rangers.

ASANTE AGAIN EARNS LEAGUE HONOR: MF Solomon Asante once again earned a league honor for Week 7, being named to the honorable mention for the USL Team of the Week. It’s the fourth time this season that Asante has earned an honor.

LA GALAXY SCOUTING REPORT: The Galaxy are playing their fifth road match of the season, going 0-3-1 in their previous four. … Last match drew 1-1 with New York Red Bulls II on Apr. 22, with Ulysses Llanez Jr. scoring the team’s goal. … Emmanuel Appiah has the only other goal LA has scored this season, which is tied for the lowest goals scored in the league. … Justin Vom Steeg, Eric Lopez and Wade Hamilton have all shared time in net this season.

LAST MEETING: Phoenix Rising defeated LA Galaxy II 1-0 on Apr. 11 at the StubHub Center Track and Field Stadium. Didier Drogba scored in the 64th minute in a lackluster performance that gave Phoenix the three points. This will be the final meeting between the teams this season.
