Published on: 06 October 2019

Ghanaian forward Solomon Asante and two other Phoenix Rising FC teammates have set a new USL Championship record following their 5-3 win over Portland Timbers II on Saturday.

Soloman Asante, Junior 'Flemmo' Flemmings and Adam Jahn are the first trio of teammates to score 15 goals for a paritcular club in a single season.

However, the former TP Mazembe talisman has bagged 22 goals in total, four more than Daniel Ríos of Nashville SC.

Asante tied the Championship’s single-season record with his 16th assist after he provided a low cross from the right for Ben Spencer to score in their comfortable victory over Portland Timbers II.
