Las Vegas Lights Stay In Playoff Contention With Win Before 7,765 Fans Saturday

By Alan Snel of LVSportsBiz.com

The Las Vegas Lights FC drew a decent crowd of 7,765 on a cool October night, as the Lights kept their playoff hopes alive with a 4-2 win over playoff spot competitor San Antonio FC at Cashman Field Saturday.

Irvin Parra had a big game for the Lights scoring eight minutes into the game, and then at the end of five minutes of extra time in the first half.

A private development team is looking at a major overhaul of a stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard in downtown, including redeveloping the Cashman Center complex where the Lights play at Cashman Field. If the Las Vegas City Council approves a partnership with the developers, the Lights will be sold to a new owner who will make a bid for the Lights to graduate to Major League Soccer (MLS).

The next home game is the final home game. The Reno team comes to Cashman Field for a 7:30 p.m. match Saturday Oct. 12.
