In a surprising turn of events in the USL Championship, Detroit City FC defeated Phoenix Rising FC 3-2 at Phoenix Rising Stadium. The AI had predicted a Phoenix Rising FC victory, but Detroit City FC defied the odds with a strong late-game surge. Phoenix Rising FC had slightly more possession (51.7%) but Detroit City FC generated more shots (16 vs. 11). Collin Smith scored first for Phoenix in the 42nd minute, followed by Hope Avayevu in the 71st.

The result marks a significant win for Detroit City FC, who have been inconsistent recently, drawing two of their last five matches and losing one. Phoenix Rising FC, despite the loss, had shown resilience in their previous game, winning against San Antonio FC, but their form has been patchy, with two draws and two losses in their last five outings before that win.
Detroit City FC's upcoming match is at home against Rhode Island FC, while Phoenix Rising FC will host Sacramento Republic FC. Given Detroit City's late surge in this game, they may carry some momentum into their next match. Phoenix Rising FC will need to regroup and address their defensive vulnerabilities highlighted in this match before facing Sacramento. In the last head-to-head games Phoenix Rising FC won 5-0 in 2023 and 5-0 in 2023, but they drew 1-1 in 2024. Detroit's recent form has seen them draw against Monterey Bay, lose to Louisville, draw against Birmingham, win against Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC, and win against Miami FC. This win breaks a recent series of mixed results, potentially indicating an upswing.
