Lexington SC beat Phoenix Rising FC 1-0 in the USL Championship, with Braudilio Rodrigues scoring the only goal in the 63rd minute. Lexington controlled much of the game and Phoenix never had a shot on target.
Blaine Ferri supplied the pass for Rodrigues' goal. Phoenix's task grew harder in the 85th minute when Luke Biasi was sent off, and although they matched Lexington's seven corners, they could not score. John Scearce and Aaron Molloy received yellow cards.
The statistics underlined Lexington's control: they had 16 shots to Phoenix's 12, six on target to none, and 55% possession. Phoenix's goalkeeper made five saves to keep the deficit at one, but they had no answer in attack.
