IND 1:0 MIA
SEPTEMBER 2, 2023
Holding on to the late lead, Indy Eleven defeated The Miami FC, 1-0, at home to extend their unbeaten streak to six games.
To start the match, both sides created opportunities in front of goal; however, neither side could find the back of the net before halftime. Staying competitive, both teams were shown yellow cards with Miami accumulating three and Indy being shown one.
Breaking the deadlock, the Boys in Blue found the winner through Sebastian Guenzatti after a ball played across the face of goal from Younes Boudadi in the 72nd minute. The goal marks Guenzatti’s ninth goal of the year and Boudadi’s fourth assist of the season. After the goal, the Eleven held on to their lead giving Tim Trilk his fourth clean sheet of the season and Indy its 10th in the last 28 games. Only Pittsburgh Riverhounds (13) and Louisville City (12) have achieved this more this season.
