Union Omaha hands Forward Madison its first loss of the season

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - Forward Madison was defeated for the first time in 2021, 2-1 against Union Omaha at Breese Stevens Field on Sunday.

The Flamingos provided their own undoing as an own-goal in Omaha’s favor made it a 1-0 deficit seven minutes into the match. FMFC was able to tie things up thanks to Jake Keegan’s team-leading fourth goal of the season in the 35th minute but a Emir Alihodzic score in the 51st minute for Union Omaha proved to be the difference maker in this match.

It's that man @jake__keegan scoring AGAIN! 👏🔥
