Indy Eleven Rallies Late to Top Loudoun United FC

May 6, 2023 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Indy Eleven News Release


LEESBURG, Va. - A pair of late goals for the Eleven, including a 90th-minute match winner from Juan Tejada, lifted Indy Eleven over Loudoun United FC, 2-1, on Saturday night in Leesburg, Va.

The victory snapped a four-match winless streak in USL Championship play for Indy, with its last win coming against Detroit City on March 25. The Eleven is now 2-3-3 on the season, while Loudoun falls to 3-4-1. Indy now leads the series with Loudoun 4-2-0 winning two of the last three.

Tejada came on in the 82nd minute to provide the spark for the Boys in Blue with his first goal of the season, off a headed assist from Douglas Martinez. It was the second consecutive game the Eleven scored late, with Jack Blake registering an 81st-minute goal to earn a 1-1 decision against Pittsburgh on April 29.

The Eleven's equalizer came in the 73rd minute off a Martinez to Younes Boudadi combination that eventually found Sebastian Guenzatti on the left side of the net for his second goal of the 2023 season and 61st-career USL strike. The pair in 2023 are a team best.

Loudoun took the early lead in the sixth minute when Kalil ElMedkhar got on the end of a cross from Laukoa Santos and hit the one-time volley into the back of the net for his second goal of the season. The Eleven countered with an early chance and nearly equalized just three minutes later with Jack Blake finding himself inside the 18 off a pass from Solomon Asante. Loudoun keeper Hugo Fauroux cut the angel on Blake, whose shot was one of two for Indy in the first frame.

Loudoun held the 13-5 advantage in shots in the match, with a 5-3 lead in shots on target, and out possessed Indy 53%-47%. Aodhan Quinn led Indy with three shots, while Yannik Oettl notched four saves for the Boys in Blue.

Next up, Indy travels to Sacramento Republic FC Saturday, May 13 for a 10 p.m. ET match-up. Indy returns home May 20 against Colorado Springs.
