It may not have been the result that Phoenix Rising was looking for, but history was made on Saturday night.

At the age of 18, Pierce Rizzo became the youngest goalscorer in Phoenix Rising’s history.

However, shortly after his goal broke the deadlock between the sides at Al Lang Stadium, Manuel Arteaga equalized for the hosts to confirm a draw.

Now, Pa-Modou Kah’s side is teetering just above the playoff line. But can they hold their ground?

Next up is Colorado Springs Switchbacks, who sit just one point behind Phoenix.

Can Ihsan Sacko, Patrick Rakovsky and Noble Okello step up to push Rising towards a key result?

Join Max Simpson, Owain Evans and Rees Goodall on the PHNX Rising Podcast to discuss.
