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 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).
