Union Omaha

Match report

Union Omaha put five past Richmond Kickers in a Group Stage match of USL League One on Saturday night. The hosts ran out comfortable 5:1 winners at home, extending their hold on second place with a performance that looked decided long before the final whistle. By then the visitors had already accepted their fate, though they managed a late consolation goal.

The opening twenty minutes were cagey enough, but everything changed around the twenty-eighth minute when S. Ors Navarro broke the deadlock. A. Gomez doubled the lead six minutes later, and just before the interval S. Vinberg bundled in his own goal to make it three. M. Bolduc added a fourth shortly after, and the half ended with the visitors trailing by four goals and three yellow cards in their locker.

The second half was largely a formality, though the game did not go completely to sleep. D. Gutierrez pulled one back in the sixty-seventh minute, but Union Omaha had already turned to the kids at that stage, making four substitutions in the space of eleven minutes. A. Gavilanes then snatched it at the death for Richmond, but the result had been sealed.

The statistics tell the same story as the scoreline. Union Omaha dominated possession at 60 per cent, registered ten shots on target against three for the visitors, and launched 72 attacks compared to 55. Richmond were out-corners 13 to 1, and their 33 per cent shot accuracy tells you they rarely got clear-cut opportunities.

What this means for the table is straightforward. Union Omaha remain second on 46 points from 24 games, while Richmond sit seventeenth on 19 from 23. The gap in the standings has widened, and for the hosts there is no room for complacency after a run of results that has been mostly positive.
