May 24, 2025 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Indy Eleven News Release
Knoxville, Tenn. - Indy Eleven forward Elvis Amoh scored his eighth goal in the last seven matches to propel the Boys in Blue to a 1-0 USL Jägermeister Cup Round 2 victory at One Knoxville SC on Saturday night.
In the 47th minute, Amoh stole a back pass off a free kick at midfield, took one dribble, and fired a laser from 45 yards out into the top of the net for his third Jägermeister Cup goal in two games. The Ghana native scored in five consecutive matches from April 19-May 10, recording the second-longest scoring streak in franchise history.
Amoh almost scored in the 14th minute after a quick throw-in by Bruno Rendon to forward Maalique Foster, who centered to Amoh, but Elvis' shot hit the crossbar. In 62 minutes, Amoh led the Boys in Blue in shots (5) and shots on target (2).
Midfielder James Murphy helped his team to a season-high 17 shots with team bests of five chances created, 14 crosses, and 40 completed passes.
With the victory, Indy Eleven stays on top of the Jägermeister Cup Group 3 standings with six points (2-0 record) and a +5 goal differential after its second game of four in the group stage.
The Boys in Blue have not allowed a goal in Jägermeister Cup play in their two matches, with goalkeeper Reice Charles-Cook earning his second clean sheet in Cup action this season. The Lewisham, England, native made a quality save in the 38th minute on Gio Calixtro's shot from the left side. In the 49th, Charles-Cook punched a shot by Jordan Skelton over the top. One Knoxville had another scoring chance in the 77th from substitute Nicola Rosamilia, but his shot missed over the top.
Charles-Cook made six saves in 119 minutes in Indy Eleven's 1-0 overtime victory vs. Miami FC in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Third Round on April 16. His last action was a 10-save performance (tied for second-most in franchise history) in the Open Cup Round of 32 match at Philadelphia Union on May 7, a 1-1 draw with Union advancing in penalty kicks.
Jägermeister Cup play continues for Indy Eleven on June 28 vs. Birmingham Legion FC.
The next USL Championship match for the Boys in Blue is "Women in Sports Night" on Wednesday vs. Hartford Athletic at 7 pm at Carroll Stadium. Single-game tickets for all matches are available via Ticketmaster. Season (pro-rated), Flex Plan, Group, and Hospitality tickets are available here.
