A third defeat in four games set Magical Vegas back in a torrid December evening in the Islington Midweek Premier League.
With some of their top performers this season missing and late changes to both centre back positions enforced hours before kick off Vegas could have excused the level of performance. But the side out there was still strong, and easily strong enough to win the game.
The movement off the ball was slow and the ability to build attacks seemed un-coordinated. They were losing possession too easily and it allowed Murchialagos to get a foothold in the game early.
They scored after an lack of communication at the back when Vegas had possession turned the ball over in their half and the left back shimmied his way past a couple of defenders in the left hand side of the box, he wasn't closed down and he slotted into the far corner to make it 1-0 with their first effort on goal.
Vegas switched their set-up with Erol Resat and Tre Thompson pushing up the pitch and they had a good 15 minutes before half-time where they looked dangerous - without end product.
The second half started in the same fashion with Vegas showing energy and desire to win the ball back. Half chances came and went but when a Murchielagos corner was whipped in to the edge of the 6 yard box there was nothing anybody could do to stop the giant centre midfielder meeting it at full-pelt to connect for 2-0.
As Vegas pushed forward they left more and more gaps, with 10 minutes to go they were exposed when a cut back found their striker 2 yards out for a tap in.
They had literally scored with every shot they had on the night in what will be remembered as a game with plenty of opportunities for Vegas and mistakes punished on every occasion at the other end.
