Indy Eleven Downed by Charleston Battery
April 19, 2025 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Indy Eleven News Release
Indianapolis- Indy Eleven forward Elvis Amoh recorded his first goal as a member of the Boys in Blue, but it wasn't enough as the hosts fell, 3-1, to USL Championship Eastern Conference rival Charleston Battery at Carroll Stadium.
Amoh thought he had scored in the 87th minute off a pass from captain Aodhan Quinn, but it was ruled offside. In the 94th, Amoh got a second chance and converted it off a pass from defender James Musa (his first Indy Eleven assist).
After Charleston raced to a 2-0 lead in the first eight minutes, the Boys in Blue got the attack going in the 16th minute when Quinn played a long ball to forward Maalique Foster, who spun and centered it to forward Edward Kizza, but Charleston goalkeeper Luis Zamudio made the save.
Defender Pat Hogan kept the deficit from increasing in the 18th minute when he cleared a ball off the line.
In the 24th, midfielder James Murphy played a through ball into midfielder Jack Blake, who chipped it just wide.
After Charleston added to its lead early in the second half, the Boys in Blue produced two scoring chances in three minutes, with midfielder Bruno Rendon's header from Aedan Stanley in the 55th and Foster's shot from the left side outside the box in the 57th.
Blake got another chance in the 64th off a short corner, and Quinn had a shot off a feed from forward Elliot Collier in the 70th. Defender Finn McRobb recorded his first shot for the Boys in Blue in the 85th minute on target.
Murphy threatened in the 93rd, but his shot hit the crossbar.
Indy Eleven will make its Jägermeister Cup debut next Saturday at Forward Madison FC at 7 pm on ESPN+. It will be a matchup of the Murphy brothers, with James on the Boys in Blue and midfielder John playing for the hosts.
Indy Eleven's next home match is on Saturday, May 3 vs. Detroit City FC at 7 pm at Carroll Stadium. Single-game tickets for all matches are available via Ticketmaster.
