An early breakthrough wasn't enough for Phoenix Rising to walk away from Weidner Field with a result, as the Colorado Springs Switchbacks came back to win 3-1 in dominating fashion.
That results leaves Rising sitting in 9th place in the Western Conference standings after playing half of their matches for 2026, while most of their rivals in the table have games in hand.
It took just four minutes for Gunnar Studenhofft to put Phoenix Rising on top.
Daniel Flores' long ball forward found Studenhofft just outside the penalty area. Switchbacks goalkeeper Christian Herrera was off his line, opening up an opportunity for the Cayman forward to chip it over his head.
That goal, just 3 minutes and 39 seconds into the match, is Rising's quickest goal of the season.
