Miami, Fla. – Indy Eleven fell on the road at Miami FC on Wednesday, conceding on both sides of halftime to lose 2-0 at Pitbull Stadium.
The defeat snapped a seven-game winning streak against Miami FC in all competitions for the Boys in Blue, who hadn’t lost to their Eastern Conference rival since 2022.
Indy Eleven — who entered the game tied for first in league goals conceded with 12 allowed in 12 games — stayed strong defensively for much of the first half. The visitors won the first four corners of the game, finishing with a 9-1 advantage in that category.
Bruno Rendon almost nabbed his eighth league goal of the year in the 39th minute on one of those corners from captain Aodhan Quinn, but his volley from the right side of the six was cleared off the line. Quinn recorded a game-high 10 crosses in the match to increase his season total to a team-high 81.
Shortly after, goalkeeper Eric Dick made his only save, catching an airborne shot from outside of the box to the middle of the goal.
After Miami took the lead just before halftime, the Boys in Blue were on the front foot for the start of the second half, putting two shots on target in the first 15 minutes after the break. The latter of those came after Rendon made a crafty run into the box off the right wing, but his low shot to the near post was saved.
Miami’s insurance goal ended a seven-game streak for Indy Eleven of allowing one goal or less in the league. The last time a team scored two or more goals against the Boys in Blue was Birmingham Legion FC in a 2-2 draw on April 19. Despite failing to score, the visitors outshot the hosts 13-10.
Indy Eleven have won four of their last six in USL-C play and sit in sixth place in the conference. The Boys in Blue have three games in hand on Miami and two games in hand on three of the other four teams above them in the table.
