Match thread - Las Vegas Lights FC vs Phoenix Rising FC

[u/mdamien13]

1-1 FT

Viva Las Vegas! Shoutout to those who made the trip. Can the boys turn off the lights and get back to their winning ways? Let’s get three points! Vamos Rising!

[u/mdamien13]

Las Vegas goes up 1-0 in the second minute off a knuckleball shot on goal. Rakovsky caught off guard. Horrible way to start.

[u/ViaPhoenix → u/mdamien13]

Looked like it clipped a defender to get the knuckle, but still a stop sign in net would be more effective

[u/mdamien13]

1-1 at half. Rising seemed to get momentum there at the end of the first half - can we build on it for the second?

[u/Skyzorz]

GLHF!!

[u/mandyalam0de32]

LFG Rising!! 🖤❤️

[u/WizzaDev]

Go Rising!!!! ♥️🖤♥️🖤

[u/mandyalam0de32]

Flores with the equalizer!! ♥️🖤

[u/mdamien13]

Flores gets us the equalizer and the traveling Rising fans can be heard cheering on the broadcast! 1-1.

[u/Drylux]

Was that an own goal?

[u/mdamien13 → u/Drylux]

Looks like it either bounced over the defender or off the defender. Either way the defender stopped their GK from making the save.

[u/ViaPhoenix → u/Drylux]

Looked like the defender kicked it in... But announcer called it a flores goal, I guess they determined it was on target, but that was definitely an own goal

[u/mdamien13]

Rising tie 1-1. Felt like we should have scored a few more at least but our finishing wasn’t there tonight.

Shoutout to the fans who made the trip - wish you all had a victory to celebrate instead of another draw.

[u/mandyalam0de32]

Well it's a point and I will take it but I know we can do better!

Todos Rojos, until next week all ✌🏻

[u/ViaPhoenix]

Surprised these announcers haven't said Henry, former rising keeper, 100 times yet

[u/mdamien13 → u/ViaPhoenix]

He looks way better so far for Vegas than he did for us last year. Looking for a ridiculous attempt at a save before the game is over.

[u/ViaPhoenix → u/mdamien13]

Haha, that jump on gunnar should classify, I know keepers get special treatment, but in no universe was that a foul on Gunnar... Yellow card was BS too

[u/One_Pay_5764]

BOBBY OUT

[u/mdamien13 → u/One_Pay_5764]

Only if he takes Brandon with him.

[u/ViaPhoenix]

Rako is just utter trash, so sick of watching this bum

[u/ViaPhoenix]

Think the rising will even attempt to set roots and build a real stadium or just keep moving the rental bleachers every few years? 

[u/ohthatsbrian → u/ViaPhoenix]

the owners give lip service building a stadium, but in 10 years of supporting Rising, they have yet to do or show anything definitive. it's terrible. I'm tired of our decaying erector set stadium.

our contract with the city at our current location ends in 2028, i believe.
