Last weekend, Indy Eleven lost to Tampa Bay Rowdies with a score of 3-1. Indy conceded early but equalized before halftime through Benjamin Ofeimu’s header. However, Tampa Bay scored twice more in the second half to secure victory.

The two teams have already met once this season in Indianapolis, where they finished with a 2-2 draw. In that encounter, Detroit City took an early lead with goals from Connor Rutz and Darren Smith within the first 15 minutes. Elvis Amoh scored both goals for Indianapolis to tie the game after his team went down to ten men.
