Know Before You Go: vs. Greenville
September 7, 2024 - United Soccer League One (USL1)
Union Omaha News Release
Coming off the heels of a match against Spokane, one of the league's top possession teams, the Owls will now face another one in Greenville. The Triumph rank top three in most of these statistics, such as possession percentage and passing accuracy. While they're winless in their last five matches, Greenville are always dangerous, and sit fifth in a very tight USL League One table. Union Omaha, with a win, could jump Charlotte to go top of the standings.
ABOUT GREENVILLE TRIUMPH
There are few duos more daunting to square off against in USL League One than Greenville's Lyam MacKinnon and Leo Castro. They're one of two pairs of teammates in the top 10 in xG + xA on the season, with MacKinnon ranking second in the league at 8.13 expected goals and assists. This is par for the course for a Triumph side that is right up there with Union Omaha in USL1 success. They were awarded the 2020 title on points per game, but have also made two other finals in 2019 and 2021. Even in the years since, they've never missed the playoffs.
HOMETOWN HEROES NIGHT
Tonight is our Hometown Heroes Night, presented by WoodmenLife! We'll be honoring our local first responders on this night, with educational table displays along the concourse as well as a huge American flag unveiled for the national anthem on the field.
