Vegas Strike Back In Dominant Display

<p>Magical Vegas FC (finally) recorded their first victory of the Premier League season with a dominant display over inferior opponents, Economicals FC.

<p>Vegas started the game in testing conditions with lashing rain and strong winds. However, it didnt stop the Vegas boys from passing it with zip and purpose around a taller - but less mobile - Economicals side. Despite their superiority they lacked confidence and didn't find wingers Paul 'Trigz' Reid and Luke Morgan who were often left one-on-one with their fullback.

<p>When they finally did, Trigz beat his fullback with a neat flick, ran insdie the covering defender and pulled the ball back for Erol Resat to tap home for a deserved lead. Things got even better moments later when returning left back Louis LLoyd Pack found Resat with his back to goal, he held the ball up and laid off a pass for Mike Appiah to drop the shoulder on the edge of the box and fire a powerful shot into the bottom corner. However, Vegas still found defending difficult and allowed opportunities for their opponents to score. However, they found stand-in goalkeeper Ozzy Barkat impossible to pass as he made 2 important saves to keep their lead intact.

<p>Vegas began to overun their opponents when goling forward, Appiah somehow danced through three opposiition players in quick succession before sliding a perfect pass for Resat to round the keeper and tap in for hs second of the game.

<p>When the 2nd half began Vegas wanted to push on but instead played too many sideways passes and invited pressure from Economicals. Who, in fairness, returned after a terrible first half display with a bit more bite and purpose in their 2nd half display. The invitation from Vegas back-fired as the opposition began winning 2nd balls and pushing the Vegas boys back deeper and deeper. Eventually, the pressure told when a corner was bundled over the line despite the best effeorts of Vegas players to block it.

<p>Vegas were in danger of reversing all the hard work they had done in the first half. But when Jacob Bond, on as a 2nd half substitute, slammed home a left-foot half volly in off the post after a Kaleb King (also substitued on) knock down, Vegas' nerves settled and they pushed on for more goals. Hussein Hussein made a sycthing run into their final third and when he swapped passes with Appiah his cross-come-shot span towards the goaline where Trigz bundled the ball home as a defender attempted to clear it.

<p>Vegas deserved their win and will look to push on in the league starting with their next opponent Admiral FC the following week.
