Ghanaian forward Solomon Asante was adjudged the man of the match after his Phoenix Rising side defeated Oakland Roots in the USL Championship.

The pacy forward scored twice as his side recorded their second consecutive win of the USL season.

His first goal came in the 10th minute when a turnover in the final third of pitch gave Dadashov a clear shot on goal that was saved, but Asante was there to finish the rebound.

Asante added to his tally in the 69th minute where Roots goalkeeper Zeus De La Paz tried a short pass to his defender but was cut off by Asante who slotted in the easy one on one chance.

It was not the first goal of the second half as Rising doubled their lead after a beautiful long ball from the defensive half by James Musa got to Moar who beat two defenders to it and finished it between the keeper's feet in the 48th minute.
 Asante was the star of the show as he scored his twice, recorded three shots on goal and made two key passes while also getting 6 out of 7 in duels and completed two dribbles.

The Ghanian has now scored eight braces for Phoenix Rising since joining the club.
