Las Vegas Lights FC News Release
LAS VEGAS - Las Vegas Lights FC drew 0-0 against Oakland Roots SC on Saturday night at the Oakland Coliseum.
Recap:
After two matches at home and a bye week, the Lights entered Week 4 with the intention of earning three points in their first away match of the season at the Oakland Roots.
The first half was very physical, with both teams fighting it out in midfield and creating few quality chances. The second half was more dynamic, with the Roots having the best opportunity of the match when an acrobatic shot by their forward hit the woodwork. The Lights were consistently pressing around the opponent's box, trying to open the Roots' defensive setup, but were unsuccessful in all their efforts.
After three minutes of stoppage time at the Coliseum, the referee blew his whistle to leave the score right where it started: 0-0.

Arozarena (GK), Singer (Howell 45'), Gartig, Jones (O'Driscoll 45'), Smart, Nigro, Leal, Noel (c), Gyau, Pinzon, Rodriguez
