Phoenix Rising clinch playoffs but fall 1-0 To Memphis 901

PHNX Phoenix Rising Postgame Show

With many plotlines for Phoenix Rising’s matchup against Memphis 901 FC (revenge match from earlier this season, Panos Armenakas return, Fan Appreciation Night), the defining narrative became Phoenix Rising lost while still punching their ticket to the 2024 USL Championship Playoffs.

Rising had their chances early and often in this match. While the club came out strongly in the first half, they were left out to dry following a Memphis goal as halftime approached.

Unable to get back into the match, they fortunately had other matchups fall their way. Join Owain Evans and Max Simpson as they chat through tonight’s match on the PHNX Rising Postgame Show.
