Abraham Okyere sparks a turnaround for Las Vegas Lights in their victory over Monterey Bay.

Ghanaian winger Abraham Okyere proved pivotal as Las Vegas Lights FC rallied to overcome Monterey Bay FC 3-2 in an exciting USL Cup encounter. Okyere netted the first goal for the visitors and was instrumental in their relentless push forward throughout a match that shifted in favor of Las Vegas in the closing moments. Monterey Bay opened the scoring early with a goal from Zack Farnsworth, and Belmar Joseph extended their lead before halftime, maintaining 60% possession as the hosts outplayed Las Vegas for significant portions of the game. Despite this, the Lights generated significant threats with 20 shots compared to Monterey Bay's nine, with Okyere at the heart of their offensive efforts. He reduced the deficit in the 71st minute with a precise left-footed strike from distance, thanks to an assist from Nyk Sessock, which injected new energy into Las Vegas. Oalex Anderson equalized in the 85th minute before scoring again deep into stoppage time to cap off the comeback and secure a hard-earned victory on the road. The Las Vegas Lights are set to take on San Antonio FC on July 19 in the USL Championship.
