Chris Hagar, experienced player, 185 00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:28.759 understands if I continue my run and play wide, now 186 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:31.440 I have every single player in a white jersey getting. 187 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:39.240 Through ball, good first stunts, plush from behind, penalty. 188 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:42.200 Charlie Adams into duty when it's a spacing from Valentine 189 00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:45.000 to well, that subtle movement he just takes a step. 190 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:45.320 To his left. 191 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.559 So now that pulls out the secondary defender with him. 192 00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:50.240 That opens up a windows. 193 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:55.240 Straight into Corey Bennet's feet. Fantastic for such as an attacker, but. 194 00:13:55.360 --> 00:14:13.159 You just so between you. Corey Bennett scores set Shutler 195 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:17.879 diving the wrong way and Las Vegas as they have 196 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:25.000 all year, resilient right back in the miss totally remade. 197 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:31.919 Now within two goals to one dunbar dunbar lashing knockdown 198 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:41.519 a ross arena Noel taps this wide, flicks inside Noel. 199 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:46.440 Noel went for goals. Shutler turned inside. That was beautiful 200 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:51.559 football from Las Vegas, just all across. Still nobody there 201 00:14:57.399 --> 00:15:03.840 through again that her outside the post from Noel just 202 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:08.399 eight points off a franchise record. You'd have to take 203 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:10.559 about a third of the remaining hall to do so. 204 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:14.159 This drops in really kindly in behind Shuttler. It didn't 205 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:15.120 go for Joo. 206 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:17.960 To throw off Joe jout. 207 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:20.759 Two back. 208 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:22.960 Soo back. 209 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:29.000 I was looking for a hat trick. Rosa Arena able 210 00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:36.480 to get down Dunbar don Bar leaves a man in 211 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.159 his wake and for that near post didn't go. 212 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:52.879 And Gando good slip. 213 00:15:52.679 --> 00:16:06.519 Ball of half equalizer Las Vegas better to two brace 214 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:10.559 for Zoo Bac Bennett responds with the brace of his 215 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:15.240 own to to It led them to the title. One 216 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.440 of the most blistering runs in recent memory. Last year, 217 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:23.399 when Shaplow was relieved, Carlson came in chance here Bennett 218 00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:33.360 held by Shutler. Scott comes high, sorto, get that right, 219 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:42.440 You're a hero. Incredible all through and Gondo looping header. 220 00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:44.200 Shutler reached up for it. 221 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:48.039 Bend does really well, put enough power on it and 222 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:49.720 Ben the right on top of the head and Joe 223 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:51.720 Joll understand that I don't need to hit it hard. 224 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:58.039 Service to the top of the area. Ah, what a save. 225 00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:16.079 Shutler lifts it over slide in nothing doing across and 226 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:23.920 how did that steak inside? And fun Covil just his 227 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:29.200 second appearance, bags his first Lights goal on the road 228 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:35.240 and from two goals down, Vegas Lights and the San 229 00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:40.599 Diego native pulling the lights out of the doldrums. 230 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:46.759 Get just a bit too casual from Orange County trying 231 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:50.839 to overcomplicate things that his ball comes back across. Really 232 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:52.960 well done yet again from Charlie Adams, who's been the 233 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:56.519 best player for the Las Vegas Lights. Hek over his 234 00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:59.440 right shoulder, a bit of an awkward deflection from knock him. 235 00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:06.000 But give credits. It's a credits to Covo. You put 236 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.839 the bond in dangerous area and you get rewarded. Do 237 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:10.039 you think at the last. 238 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:16.759 Master class Las Vegas in stoppage time Orange County does 239 00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:20.200 not get a snap.
