⚽️ WHO ARE WE PLAYING?
It’s No. 3 versus No. 4 as your Jacks travel to face Union Omaha in their next USL League One match. The Independence clinched a playoff spot over the weekend for the fourth consecutive season with a 1-1 draw against One Knoxville SC. Omaha just saw a 10-match winning streak ended with a tie against North Carolina FC. With only one additional match remaining, this match is incredibly important in the hunt for the right to host a first round playoff game. First kick is set for 7:30 p.m. (ET) on Wednesday, October 4 at Werner Park in Omaha, Nebraska.
