Ghana winger Solomon Asante made another team of the week appearance after playing an inspiring role in Phoenix Rising's big win over LA Galaxy II on matchday 13 of the USL.

The tricky attacked scored and provided three assists as the Western Conference champions whitewashed LA Galaxy II 5-0 at the Wild Horse Pass stadium.
