Phoenix get back to back home games against New Mexico, this time in the US Open Cup.

No Musa.

Is obviously a bit of a staged Cup draw with local USL & MLS teams drawn against each other if possible in the 3rd round, to minimise travel. Or if need be two USL/MLS teams play each other, like here.

Edit - Phoenix with a 2-1 win.

The Moose is back! 

Well, was back, game over now... Phoenix win this one 2-1 to get back into form after a couple of uncharacteristic floggings in the past few weeks.

Full 90 for the Moose.

Musa starting as a CB.

Edit - subbed off at 64 mins (score 0-0) in a 0-1 loss. Musa's replacement was sent off only 5 mins after coming on (0-0). 10 men Rising going on to concede in the 71st min with a pen, maybe related to the send off. 2 teams swap spots on the ladder.

Louisville (1st in USL East) host Phoenix Rising (11th in the West).
Musa starting.

Hopefully Musa and his team mates can turn their season around. Rising have consistently been one of the best, if not the best USL club for a few years now.

Otherwise continues like this will have a large whiff, of club cleanout come about November. And the Moose may end up needing to look for a new club.
