This could prove critical.

Phoenix Rising has a dollar beer night clash coming up against Monterey Bay, and if it goes poorly, Diego Gómez’s side could find itself below the playoff line with a seemingly large mountain to climb.

Will Tomás Ángel finally break out of his slump, and Jearl Margaritha contribute before his Curaçaon international duty, or will Carlos Herrera keep a critical clean sheet?

Join Max Simpson, Owain Evans and Rees Goodall to discuss this huge matchup.
