Drogba led out the Rising for his swansong in the final of U.S. football's second tier.
However, a second-half goal from Louisville's Luke Spencer meant the Ivorian did not get to bow out with one last title.

The defeat marks the end of Drogba's trophy-filled career, which was topped by scoring the equalising goal and deciding penalty in Chelsea's 2012 Champions League triumph.
He also won four Premier League titles, four FA Cups, and a Turkish Super Lig crown.
Kevin Prince Boteng took to Twitter to pay tribute to the legendary forward.
"Thank you @didierdrogba you are and forever will be a LEGEND."
