That lead was cut down three minutes later after a Las Vegas counter attack.

Flash kept up the pressure on the visitors and added two more goals in the 73rd and 78th minute to make the score 4-1.

Clearly over match on the filed the Las Vegas team took out their frustrations by fouling, the San Diego team did not hold back either. The game could have gotten away from the referee's control who was hesitant to show cards. Some key yellow cards towards the end made sure things did not escalate further.

The visitors from the Nevada dessert got another goal in the 81st minute to make it a respectful 4-2 final score.
