Last Meeting
Indy Eleven midfielder Jack Blake scored his second goal in four days and his third in the past four matches, but it wasn’t enough as the second-best team in the USL Championship this season Charleston Battery prevailed 2-1 on September 6, 2025.
With Charleston leading 2-0 in the second half, Josh O’Brien started the build-up to Blake’s goal after recovering a deflected pass just outside the area on the defensive end. O’Brien dribbled quickly toward the center circle and fired a perfect diagonal pass to forward Romario Williams on the left side. Williams took it toward the six where his shot was blocked to create a corner kick.
Captain James Murphy played a cross that was punched by Charleston goalkeeper Luis Zamudio inside the six, where defender Ben Ofeimu headed it back to Blake. Blake then volleyed it into the right corner of the net for his second highlight-reel goal this week.
It is Blake’s team-high ninth goal this season, one shy of his career-best 10 for the Boys in Blue last season. The goal is Blake’s 24th in three years playing for Indy Eleven, tying the franchise mark for most goals in the USL Championship era (2018-) with Tyler Pasher (2018-20). The Nottingham, England, native now has 41 career goals in USLC regular-season play.
Ofeimu’s assist is his first this season in addition to two goals. He helped the Boys in Blue defense contain the highest-scoring offense in the league with two tackles won, nine accurate passes, and 31 touches.
Indy Eleven goalkeeper Hunter Sulte made five saves to follow his six-save effort in the second half on Wednesday’s shutout win at Hartford Athletic. The second-year Boys in Blue keeper now has 58 saves this season and a franchise USLC-era best 131 in his two years in Indy.

Charles-Cook Stars in Shootout Victory
For the second time in five weeks, the Boys in Blue emerged victorious in a penalty shootout on the road in the Prinx Tires USL Cup, as goalkeeper Reice Charles-Cook capped his third clean sheet this season with two saves in a 7-6 victory on penalties at Lexington SC on June 20.
After the teams battled to a 0-0 draw through 90 minutes, Indy Eleven went first in the penalty shootout. Although the Boys in Blue missed their first penalty, they made their next four to set up a 4-4 tie as Lexington defender Joe Hafferty stepped up to the spot. Charles-Cook saved his low right-footed shot to the right center of the goal to keep Indy Eleven alive.
From there, the Boys in Blue stayed surgical, making three additional consecutive penalties. After center back Makel Rasheed gave Indy Eleven a 7-6 advantage, Charles-Cook dove to his left to stop Lexington midfielder Latif Blessing’s low-driven shot and deliver the Boys in Blue two points in their final group stage match.
The game extended Indy Eleven’s unbeaten away USL Cup streak to four (2-0-2) and moved them up to second in the Group 4 table.
Charles-Cook was dependable all night long, rising to the occasion each time that the team needed him. Five of his seven saves were in the second half. In the 62nd minute, he dove to his right to save a one-on-one low shot from the right side of the box, and he made a leaping stop in the 92nd to deny an outside-the-box Lexington effort from finding the top right corner of the goal.
Charles-Cook’s seven saves in his second-best in his two years with the Boys in Blue, only surpassed by his 10-save performance in the 2025 U.S. Open Cup Round of 32 at Philadelphia Union.
Hesron Barry and Dylan Sing both made their first start since March as Coach Sean McAuley opted for rotation in the final game of the USL Cup group stage. Mohamed Omar also made his first-ever Indy Eleven start, completing 24 passes, creating a chance, and converting a PK.
Bruno Rendon played the first half, posing an attacking threat. He leads all players by four in all-time USL Cup goals (11) and goals+assists (15) in 17 appearances
