Well, the good news for the Las Vegas Lights was that the United Soccer League team had an announced record crowd of 10,117 at Cashman Field Saturday night.

But the downer was that the Lights lost, 2-0, to their in-state rivals, Reno 1868 FC. The Lights were vying for a playoff position after having a miserable inaugural season last year.

Here are highlights of Saturday’s Lights loss.

The 10,117 fans in attendance on Saturday night was the biggest regular season crowd in Lights FC history, only trailing the 10,387 that attended the first-ever match in team history on February 10, 2018 in a MLS Soccer Spring Training duel against Montreal Impact. A total of 146,121 fans entered Cashman Field throughout the year.
