LAST MATCH: Phoenix Rising came back from deficits of 1-0 and 3-1 to fight off a game LA Galaxy II 4-3 Friday night at the Phoenix Rising Soccer Complex. A pair of goals from Jason Johnson, a goal from Alessandro Riggi and the winner on a penalty kick from Didier Drogba ended a streak of two straight draws from Phoenix Rising.
