Phoenix Rising fell to four points behind the playoff line after a 1-0 loss away to Lexington SC.
Rising struggled in attack, while Braudílio Rodrigues put the hosts up in the second half. Phoenix defender Luke Biasi also received his second violent conduct red card of the season.
After a weekend in which Phoenix Rising didn't have its top attacking option available in Las Vegas, this was supposed to be an opportunity to show something different. Ihsan Sacko, having missed the last match due to personal reasons, was starting, as was Conrad Ambursley, who had impressed in spurts off the bench.
Instead, things didn't work out.
Despite taking 12 shots throughout the course of the entire match, Phoenix didn't put a single shot on target against Lexington goalkeeper Oliver Semmle.
