Charleston Battery and Phoenix Rising lock horns with each other in a fierce USL Championship Final as both teams enter the contest on the back of winning their respective conference titles.
The home side managed a massive victory against Louisville City FC as Arturo Rodriguez and Augustine Williams both found the back of the net on either side of half time guiding them to a massive victory. The Battery have earned their first USL Championship Final ticket since 2012 and they would be vying to make it a memorable one.
Phoenix Rising, on the other hand, produced an unimaginable comeback in the last 10 minutes of the clash against Sacramento Republic FC. After Russell Cicerone's first half strike, Conor Donovan scored an own goal giving the visitors hope before Emil Cuello's last ditch effort rattled the net to give the star side their third Conference crown in six campaigns.
