Speaker 5: Speed, show solid step over whips, the cross sloping header
Speaker 5: goes over the top. Collin Shotler remains in goal for
Speaker 5: this Orange County team.
Speaker 8: You just put the ball in the mixer, go win
Speaker 8: your battle. Tried on training, quick execute enough football.
Speaker 5: Hey Gary drives inside as the option wide plays, Jamison
Speaker 5: cuts it through fall popped out to Zubac, lasted by
Speaker 5: Haygarth comes back out to kasimply hangs that in Subac
Speaker 5: run it down, so he's backs County is waiting it
Speaker 5: over five games for a goal. They've got it in
Speaker 5: eleven minutes.
Speaker 8: Fantastic stuff from Orange County, starting with Hayguard.
Speaker 3: The patience to let Jamison come.
Speaker 8: Around the corner. Top priority there, so make your defender engage.
Speaker 8: But as this ball comes back across, you don't turn
Speaker 8: off mentally fantastic technique Premka simply, but it's a clever
Speaker 8: finish from Zubac Number one. To keep yourself on side
Speaker 8: is one thing. It's a completely different thing to have
Speaker 8: the caliber of Danny stones in number one transition into
Speaker 8: the Western Conference. But he has to understand that it's
Speaker 8: a great.
Speaker 5: Poll ball op Dan Zuebach pulled in by a ross arena.
Speaker 8: You've had success, You've.
Speaker 5: Been aligns with smart. Dunbar continues, now drives the cross,

Speaker 5: now off from zoe Bach.
Speaker 8: Top class from Orange County and starting the build out
Speaker 8: of the back.
Speaker 3: But look how.
Speaker 8: Quickly they draw in this Las Vegas light side and
Speaker 8: they play wide. And now you're asking don Board to
Speaker 8: go one, be one and express himself. And you talk
Speaker 8: about confidence, the composure, the patience, So.
Speaker 1: Let this play development.
Speaker 8: In doing that, like now you afford the players around
Speaker 8: you to get into more advantageous opportunity. Chris Hagar, experienced player,
Speaker 8: understands if I continue my run and play wide, now
Speaker 8: I have every single player in a white jersey getting.
Speaker 5: Through ball, good first stunts, plush from behind, penalty.
Speaker 8: Charlie Adams into duty when it's a spacing from Valentine
Speaker 8: to well, that subtle movement he just takes a step.
Speaker 1: To his left.
Speaker 3: So now that pulls out the secondary defender with him.
Speaker 3: That opens up a windows.
Speaker 8: Straight into Corey Bennet's feet. Fantastic for such as an attacker, but.
Speaker 5: You just so between you. Corey Bennett scores set Shutler
Speaker 5: diving the wrong way and Las Vegas as they have
Speaker 5: all year, resilient right back in the miss totally remade.
Speaker 5: Now within two goals to one dunbar dunbar lashing knockdown
Speaker 5: a ross arena Noel taps this wide, flicks inside Noel.
Speaker 5: Noel went for goals. Shutler turned inside. That was beautiful
Speaker 5: football from Las Vegas, just all across. Still nobody there
Speaker 5: through again that her outside the post from Noel just
Speaker 5: eight points off a franchise record. You'd have to take
Speaker 5: about a third of the remaining hall to do so.
Speaker 5: This drops in really kindly in behind Shuttler. It didn't
Speaker 5: go for Joo.
Speaker 3: To throw off Joe jout.
Speaker 5: Two back.
Speaker 3: Soo back.
Speaker 5: I was looking for a hat trick. Rosa Arena able
Speaker 5: to get down Dunbar don Bar leaves a man in
Speaker 5: his wake and for that near post didn't go.
Speaker 3: And Gando good slip.
Speaker 5: Ball of half equalizer Las Vegas better to two brace
Speaker 5: for Zoo Bac Bennett responds with the brace of his
Speaker 5: own to to It led them to the title. One
Speaker 5: of the most blistering runs in recent memory. Last year,
Speaker 5: when Shaplow was relieved, Carlson came in chance here Bennett
Speaker 5: held by Shutler. Scott comes high, sorto, get that right,
Speaker 5: You're a hero. Incredible all through and Gondo looping header.
Speaker 5: Shutler reached up for it.
Speaker 8: Bend does really well, put enough power on it and
Speaker 8: Ben the right on top of the head and Joe
Speaker 8: Joll understand that I don't need to hit it hard.
Speaker 3: Service to the top of the area. Ah, what a save.
Speaker 5: Shutler lifts it over slide in nothing doing across and
Speaker 5: how did that steak inside? And fun Covil just his
Speaker 5: second appearance, bags his first Lights goal on the road
Speaker 5: and from two goals down, Vegas Lights and the San
Speaker 5: Diego native pulling the lights out of the doldrums.
Speaker 8: Get just a bit too casual from Orange County trying
Speaker 8: to overcomplicate things that his ball comes back across. Really
Speaker 8: well done yet again from Charlie Adams, who's been the
Speaker 8: best player for the Las Vegas Lights. Hek over his
Speaker 8: right shoulder, a bit of an awkward deflection from knock him.
Speaker 8: But give credits. It's a credits to Covo. You put
Speaker 8: the bond in dangerous area and you get rewarded. Do
Speaker 8: you think at the last.
Speaker 5: Master class Las Vegas in stoppage time Orange County does
Speaker 5: not get a snap. Las Vegas from two goals down
Speaker 5: accumulate another massive victory away a three two win over
Speaker 5: Orange County to continue their climb in the Western Conference.
Speaker 1: So we had ten in the first match of the week,
Speaker 1: we had five. In the second match of the week,
Speaker 1: Vegas Light's a big win over Orange County in the West,
Speaker 1: so that gets us out of August and into September.
Speaker 1: And it was literally just the one match on Sunday
Speaker 1: to get you ready for Friday, September first switchbacks four
Speaker 1: to one winners over FC Tulsa. So that sets up
Speaker 1: the standings and how things are in USL Championship Prinks

Speaker 1: City two matches in hand on Charleston, they've got a
Speaker 1: three point lead fifty six to fifty three. Then Tampa

Speaker 1: and the tiebreakers lean their way ahead of Phoenix, rising
Speaker 1: with identical records, in Phoenix having a better goal difference,
Speaker 1: but the tie breakers lean Tulsa's way head to head

Speaker 1: Championship over the next seven days. Once again, those three
Speaker 1: matches on your three matches in the midwek next week,
Speaker 1: you got to keep an eye on those. USL Championship
Speaker 1: dot Com is where you can pick up all the
Speaker 1: information that you need on a daily basis. Also follow
Speaker 1: along on social media on the two hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: character app on the Facebook and on the IG the
Speaker 1: Instagram or the the ig the Instagram or the Graham
Speaker 1: either one of those three on social media and you
Speaker 1: can keep an eye on everything going on in USL Championship.
Speaker 1: Had a bit of a brain lock trying to remember
Speaker 1: the nickname for the Instagram. We mentioned Save of the
Speaker 1: Week contenders. Once again, you can vote on Gold of
Speaker 1: the Week and Save of the Week and do that
Speaker 1: Monday through Thursday or Tuesday through Friday. You do that
Speaker 1: by going to USL Championship dot Com and voting for it.
Speaker 1: This week, it was a choice among Areena and Ribero
Speaker 1: from Hartford, Carlos Saldania from Detroit City, Matt van Okel
Speaker 1: first Save of the Week for Birmingham Legion, and Brandon
Speaker 1: Gongora for San Antonio FC. So it was Roberto Saldonia,
Speaker 1: Van Okel Gongora for Save of the Week and it
Speaker 1: is looking like Brandon Gongora is running away with it
Speaker 1: at eighty one percent. Remember you can vote at USL
Speaker 1: Championship dot Com for Save of the Week Tuesday through
Speaker 1: Friday and Gold of Theek is Monday through Thursday every
Speaker 1: single week. But that was your Save of the Week
Speaker 1: contenders for twenty six. Also on the board your Championship

Speaker 1: of the Week since we mentioned Save of the Week,
Speaker 1: Goal of the Week contenders this past week or once
Speaker 1: again Monday through Thursday is where you vote. Rodrigo to
Speaker 1: Costa North Carolina FC. You heard that goal with Dean Linky,
Speaker 1: Danny Griffin from Pittsburgh, Mario Williams Fromandy eleven, Juan Da
Speaker 1: vid Torres from the Charleston Battery presented by Select, the
Speaker 1: Official soccer Ball of the USL Championship. Power Rankings. We
Speaker 1: mentioned that for week twenty six in USL Championship, And
Speaker 1: remember this is power rankings. This is not any kind
Speaker 1: of like a ranking ranking or anything like that. Lu
Speaker 1: Citi's up two to number one, Charleston State at number two,
Speaker 1: which means New Mexico United had to drop to the
Speaker 1: three spot. Sacramento, Vegas, Rhode Island. I'll stay in lockstep
Speaker 1: with each other. Oakland up three to ten or from
Speaker 1: ten to seven, up three, Tampa Bay stays at eight,
Speaker 1: Switchbacks up four to number nine, Loud and down three
Speaker 1: to number ten. Other big movers Memphis down three to twelve.
Speaker 1: North Carolina's down one, Pittsburgh, Detroit City and Hartford Athletics
Speaker 1: stay in place. Indy eleven up one to sixteen, Phoenix
Speaker 1: rising up two, which means FC Tulsa and Legion drop
Speaker 1: L Paso, Locomotive, San Antonio stay at twenty and twenty one.
Speaker 1: Orange County and the MIAMIFC go up a spot one
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six days after their last victory. The
Speaker 1: MIAMIFC Gota win, but then they get to head to
Speaker 1: New Mexico Monterey Bay down two to twenty four. Once again,
Speaker 1: that's power rankings that is not like actual rankings. Rankings
Speaker 1: that is pieced together at the league office, So that's
