Energy FC ended their preseason trip to Tucson with a 2-2 draw against Phoenix Rising FC at Phoenix Rising Stadium on Friday afternoon.

Jason Johnson scored the only goal in the first half on the 20 minute mark to give the hosts the lead at the break.

Johnson doubled his tally in the 75th minute shortly before OKC clawed back into the match. Goals in quick succession from Jon Brown and Francis Atuahene in the 81st and 84th minute, respectively, leveled the score, and that’s how the match finished.

The Greens travel home tonight and will continue preparations ahead of the home opener against Tulsa Roughnecks on St. Patrick’s Day. League play begins with the first installment of the Black Gold Derby at 7 p.m. CTD on Saturday, March 17 at Taft Stadium.
