Captain Solomon Asante scored a goal and provided two assists as Phoenix Rising FC thumped LA Galaxy II 4-1 on Wednesday.

The Ghana international  wrapped up the result in second-half stoppage time with a simple finish that marked his 40th goal in the league's regular season.

He was involved in the second goal for Rising minutes before halftime when he slipped Santi Moar into the right channel breaking forward before the Spaniard lifted his finish into the left corner of the net.

Phoenix added a third just past the hour-mark as Asante picked up his second assist on day.

Asante was instrumental in the third goal after a cleared corner was came back out to him on the left.

He cut past a defender, and then delivered a low cross with the outside of his right foot that found Jordan Schweitzer for a first-time finish at the near post.
