Lone goal from Bryam Rebellon earns all three points for the Boys in Blue
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (Saturday, May 20, 2023) – Hosting the first of back-to-back home games on Saturday night, the Indy Eleven hosted the Colorado Springs Switchbacks for the first and only time this season. A first-time shot from Bryam Rebellon in the 16th minute would be the difference maker as Indy Eleven went on to earn all three points on Saturday night.
Getting the Boys in Blue on the board first, Sebastian Guenzatti left a ball for Bryam Rebellon who hit it first time past a diving Christian Herrera.
Following Indy’s 16th minute goal, Colorado Springs would fire multiple shots at Yannik Oettl, with only one ending up on frame. Although the Switchbacks controlled the possession in the first half (39%-61%), Indy would weather the storm, taking a one-goal lead into the locker room. Earning four straight corner kicks to start the second half, Indy would be denied multiple times by Herrera. Getting loose from a Colorado Springs defender, Sebastian Guenzatti would nearly double Indy’s lead, but his ball would hit the frame and go wide.
Things would get physical in the second half with both teams earning a combined five yellow cards, including a physical altercation in the 88th minute between Adrian Diz Pe and Oskar Agren. Taking on a barrage of chances from Colorado Springs, Indy would hold off the Switchbacks and go on to earn all three points at home.
