The Carolina RailHawks came from behind to defeat Indy Eleven, 3-2, at WakeMed Soccer Park on Saturday.

Omar Bravo lifted Carolina to the win with his fourth goal in six games. The Mexican star scored deep into second-half stoppage time from the penalty spot after a handball to stun the league leaders at the time.

Greg Janicki put Indy(6-1-3, 19) in the lead when he rose to nod a header past Carolina goalkeeper Akira Fitzgerald in the 20th minute. Just three minutes later, Matt Fondy scored his fifth goal of the Fall Season, slotting the ball home after a pass from Nazmi Albadawi.

Eamon Zayed moved within one goal of Minnesota United’s Christian Ramirez’s league-leading 13 tallies when he scored from the penalty spot in the 30th minute. Soulemayne Youla was pulled down by Drew Beckie to create the chance for Zayed.

RailHawks (3-3-3, 12) defender Steven Miller pulled the score level with a strike from long distance in the 54th minute.
