PHOENIX (June 5, 2017) — Phoenix Rising FC (4-4-0) will conclude its three-match road trip with a visit to OKC Energy FC (3-5-1) on Tuesday, June 6 at Taft Stadium. Kickoff will be at 5:30 p.m. Arizona time.

Fans can head to the club’s official watch party at the Thirsty Lion Gastropub & Grill in Tempe Marketplace (2000 East Rio Salado Parkway #1041, Tempe, AZ 85281) to watch the match. Fans can also watch the match live locally on YurView Arizona Cox Channels 7 & 1007 (HD) or online on WatchESPN.

Phoenix Rising FC is looking for their second-straight league victory after their 2-1 triumph over LA Galaxy II last Saturday, May 27. Jason Johnson and Eric Avila tallied goals for Phoenix that night, helping the club to its first road win of the season.

Oklahoma City and Phoenix met less than a month ago in Arizona. Tied 1-1 in stoppage time, Phoenix Rising midfielder Shawn Wright-Philips picked up the ball just outside the OKC penalty area and directed a hard shot into the corner of the goal to claim the three points for Phoenix.

Since then, OKC has won two of their last three matches, but suffered another late loss in their last league appearance, a 1-0 loss to Colorado Switchbacks FC. With the game still scoreless entering the third and final minute of injury time, Switchbacks midfielder Rony Argueta took a pass on the edge of the OKC box and, much like Wright-Philips did three weeks prior, fired a shot into the corner of the net to strike down OKC late.

Phoenix Rising FC enters the match with an all-time 3-3-2 record against Energy FC. The team is 1-1-1 all time in Oklahoma City with the last road win coming in August 2014. In Phoenix Rising FC’s last trip to Oklahoma City on July 31, 2015, the club fell 3-0.
