Played at Aquinas College Athletic Field, the match ended with Midwest improving the simplest line in the post-match stats - three scored, none allowed. It was a firm home result in USL League Two, and Union left Grand Rapids with little to show for the trip.
The result continues a familiar trend in this matchup. In another completed meeting between the clubs listed this season, Midwest won 4-0 away from home, and a further recent trip to Union ended 3-1 for Midwest. Union's listed success in the recent sequence was a 2-0 away win, but this latest score pushed the edge back toward the hosts.
The broader form line also suited the final summary. Midwest's previous four listed matches read WLDW, while Union's read LDLD, and the available stats had Midwest averaging 3.2 goals to Union's 1.4 across those recent games. The highlights from this one were therefore blunt and decisive: a three-goal margin, a shutout, and another strong Midwest score against familiar opposition.
