 After lightning in the metro caused a 90-minute suspension of play, Arnezha Astwood and his University of Omaha Men’s Soccer teammates closed out a 1 - 0 win over visiting San Francisco to improve to 3-0 to start the season. It's Omaha's best start to a season in seven years.
In a physical defensive match that included five yellow cards, Omaha's Theo Klein scored the game's only goal on a penalty kick in the 43rd minute following a yellow card given to Dons coach Chris Brown. It is the ninth career penalty kick goal for the junior from Strasbourg, France, extending his Omaha record.
The match had been moved forward two hours in an effort to avoid expected severe weather conditions, but lightning still caused a delay with 33:37 remaining to play. The severe weather skirted Caniglia Field for the most part, and with a little rain on the field, play resumed under mostly blue skies.
