Indy Eleven News Release
Indianapolis - Indy Eleven completed a successful week with its second victory in five days, earning a 2-1 win over USL Championship Eastern Conference rival Detroit City FC in the home opener in front of 9,357 fans at Carroll Stadium.
Boys in Blue midfielder Josh O'Brien set up the first goal of the game in the 43rd minute with a run up the right sideline, hesitating and then playing a cheeky ball behind the defensive line into the box near the end line that forward Bruno Rendon chased down and chipped to the near post, where forward Dylan Sing headed it home for his first Indy Eleven goal.
After Detroit tied it in the 56th minute, O'Brien set up another goal in the 62nd, heading an errant clearance to Rendon, who chested it down and struck a left-footed laser for the game winner.
Goalkeeper Eric Dick made three saves to earn the victory.
The Boys in Blue travel to Hartford Athletic next Saturday for a 5 p.m. match on ESPN+.
Indy Eleven will have two home games at Carroll Stadium the following week--Tue. Mar. 31 for a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Second Round match vs. Union Omaha at 7 p.m., and Sat. Apr. 4 against the defending USL champion Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC at 7.
