SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Arizona United SC snapped a four-game winless streak in a 3-2 win over the Austin Aztex, led by two goals from forward Long Tan and a goal from forward Brad Stisser.

Arizona United SC fell behind early, 2-0, but cut their deficit in half in the 35th minute when Stisser buried his penalty attempt for his first goal on the season. Arizona United SC went into the half down 2-1 but that deficit didn't last long.

Just two minutes into the second half, Tan scored his first goal on the evening on a one vs. one opportunity against Austin Aztex goalkeeper Cody Laurendi.

Tan scored his second goal of the evening, and sealed Arizona United SC's win, in the 69th minute with a penalty, Arizona's second of the evening. The comeback win was the second time in Arizona United SC club history that the team was able to come back from a two-goal deficit to win a match. The first time was last season in a 3-2 win over Portland Timbers U23s in the U.S. Open Cup.
