Indy Eleven News Release

INDIANAPOLIS - Indy Eleven's stubborn pattern of settling results late continued tonight against Atlanta - but it also paid off handsomely once again, as substitute forward Alioune Diakhate's 84th minute goal was all that was needed in a 1-0 defeat of Atlanta United 2 in front of 11,137 at Lucas Oil Stadium.

The goal, Diakhate's first as a member of Indy Eleven after earning a roster spot via a preseason tryout, helped Indy Eleven to a fourth straight win and kept the Boys in Blue undefeated in their last eight games (5W-0L-3D) dating back to May 1. The result also moved Indy Eleven's home unbeaten streak to 15 games (9W-0L-6D), a run at Lucas Oil Stadium that began nearly a year ago (July 7, 2018).
