Phoenix Rising beat San Antonio FC, 3-0, on Saturday night.
Rick Schantz walked toward the halfway line, his fists balled and his arms raised skyward, in a celebratory V-shape. For 26 minutes, his Phoenix Rising team had been comprehensively outplayed, saved only by goalkeeper Ben Lundt and poor finishing from San Antonio FC.
But, in the 26th minute, there was Schantz, celebrating an opener for Phoenix in a game it would eventually go on to win, 3-0, bouncing back from last week’s loss to LA Galaxy II by the same score. It took less than a minute for San Antonio to work its way back onto the front foot, a tidy passing combination springing Dillon free for an even better chance than the one he missed three minutes earlier. From just outside the six-yard box, though, the San Antonio striker pulled another shot wide, preserving Phoenix’s inexplicable lead.
Barring action from USL to overturn the red card, Njie will be suspended for next week’s game aganst the Tampa Bay Rowdies. That will be a worry for Phoenix come Wednesday, after its midweek U.S. Open Cup round of 32 tie against Sacramento Republic.
