Eleven Can't Find Second-Half Equalizer

August 25, 2024 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Indy Eleven News Release


Las Vegas - The host Las Vegas Lights FC scored last in an exciting first half which saw five goals and preserved the lead in a scoreless second half to edge the Indy Eleven, 3-2.

Vegas took a quick lead in the second minute, but the Eleven evened it in the 26th minute on a beautiful left-footed strike from forward Sebastian Guenzatti off an assist from Jack Blake on a deft feed into the box. It was Guenzatti's fifth goal of the season and the 75th in his USL career (fifth on the all-time list).

Las Vegas countered in the 43rd minute to take a 2-1 lead, but the Eleven responded with an impressive turn and fire from Elliott Collier in tight space in the third minute of first-half stoppage time. Blake delivered a quick pass to record his second assist in the first half.

But the hosts answered with the game-winner just one minute later for what proved to be the game-winning goal.

Neither team scored in the final half.

Indy Eleven are in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with 35 points. Their next match is Tuesday in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup Semifinals at Sporting Kansas City at 8 pm ET on 93.5/107.5 the fan radio and MLS Season Pass on Apple TV.
