Indy Eleven was able to conjure up more late-game magic in 2016 and secured a 2-1 win against Rayo OKC at Carroll Stadium. The win was Indy’s eighth in a row and home and stretched the club’s home unbeaten run to 13 games.

Colin Falvey scored the game-winning goal for the Eleven (6W-1D-2L, 19 points) after Rayo OKC goalkeeper Daniel Fernandes was unable to hold onto the ball off a corner. Indy’s captain was first to the ball and sent his shot into the empty net in the 84th minute.

Rayo OKC (3-4-2, 13) was able to grab an early advantage when Futty Danso opened the scoring in the 12th minute. Georgios Samaras was taken down and Michel’s ensuing free kick was volleyed by Danso past Indy goalkeeper Jon Busch.

Dylan Mares pulled the scored level when he fired a rebound into the goal in the 41st minute. Fernandes parried Eamon Zayed’s headed effort, but Mares was on hand to turn the ball into the net.
