Ghana winger Solomon Asante has found his name yet again in the United Soccer League Team of the Week following his sterling display for Phoenix Rising over the weekend.
The diminutive attacker scored for the seventh game running by converting a pair of penalty kick and registering an assist for Phoenix Rising in their 4-2 win over Portland Timbers II in the USL Championship.
He opened the scoring in the 32nd minute from the penalty spot but Portland only needed five minutes to snatch the equalizer.
Timbers 2 took the lead four minutes after halftime through Brayan Hurtado.
Phoenix found its equalizer from an unlikely source as Dia scored a stunning solo goal in the 62nd minute.
Dia headed home Asante's cross at the back post in the 94th minute before Asante converted his second penalty kick of the evening two minutes later to cap off a drama-filled evening at Casino Arizona Field.
Asante’s performance earned him a fourth appearance in the weekly best team selection alongside teammate Amadou Dia.
It is the first time two players from the Arizona-based outfit have been selected into the Team of the Week.
