Phoenix Rising grabbed their first home victory in the 2023 USL Championship Season as they dispatched Loudoun United 3-1.

An action-packed packed first half saw Rising grab two goals in quick succession. Maryvale-native Jose Andres Hernandez opened the scoring in 33rd minute off of a reaching header across goal from Manuel Arteaga. Hernandez then returned the favor three minutes later, setting up Arteaga for the second goal of the match. Rising rode the momentum up until the waning moments of the first half. Just as the stoppage time was being announced throughout Phoenix Rising Stadium, Loudoun put in a dangerous ball across the face of goal that was inadvertently directed in by Phoenix Rising captain Kevon Lambert.

With the remaining 45 minutes to play, Phoenix held firm as a listless second half played out with both teams combining for five total shots. The defense battened down the hatches as Rising saw out the remainder of the match. Baboucarr Njie redeemed himself for Wednesday’s Open Cup red card with a clutch insurance goal in the 90+1’ minute.
