Match thread - Lexington SC vs Phoenix Rising FC

[u/mdamien13]

2-0 FT

Road match against a struggling team - need to get points here. How will the boys handle the earlier kickoff? Let’s get three points! Vamos Rising!

[u/Skyzorz]

Cuello at forward!!!!!

Looks like a rotated starting lineup a bit, notably Henry in goal, and Hope on the bench.

[u/kingsausage → u/Skyzorz]

Where can I see the lineup?

[u/Skyzorz → u/kingsausage]

On their social medias - here’s a pic!!!

[u/secollectiv37]

Oh look we let another runner open that leads to a goal shocker!

[u/mandyalam0de32]

Okay Henry has GOT TO GO... WTAF?! Absolutely NO EXCUSE FOR THAT SHIT.

FFS

[u/secollectiv37 → u/mandyalam0de32]

Unless Patrick was hurt idk why the switch up it’s been the defense fault not Rakos

[u/Skyzorz]

Well that was a bit miserable. Feels like another low point of the season. GG.

[u/mdamien13 → u/Skyzorz]

I came here to post this too. We’ve had worse losses from a goal differential perspective but getting shutout on the road against a team on a slide where we needed points is just abysmal.

LFG Rising 🖤❤️

[u/secollectiv37]

Sacko needs to shoot that I get there was traffic in front but let’s not lay it off to a kid that’s only played like 3 matches

[u/mdamien13 → u/secollectiv37]

That was bad. Wasted a great opportunity. Not gonna fault Rizzo.

[u/secollectiv37 → u/mdamien13]

No not at all probably his first like real impact potential moment since first team call up

[u/mdamien13]

TV crew reporting Daniel Flores in for Emil Cuello to start the second half.

[u/Skyzorz → u/mdamien13]

Lame. At least give Cuello 65+ if you’re gonna experiment a new position (unless he was injured)

[u/mdamien13]

Another defensive breakdown and it’s 2-0 Lexington. And given how bad our offense looks it feels like that’s game.

[u/mdamien13]

Remi Cabral coming in for Rizzo!

[u/mandyalam0de32]

I have no productive words to say, nothing positive anyways. The amount of disappointment I feel right now is just... ugh.

I hope the team takes this loss and really learns from it b/c this "show" was embarrassing.

Until next time all, Todos Rojos ✌🏻

[u/secollectiv37 → u/mandyalam0de32]

I mean they didn’t learn from the OC loss so I doubt it

[u/kingsausage]

We are bad and I feel bad

[u/mdamien13]

Lexington draws first blood. 1-0. Rising have had a few chances but not connecting.
