The postseason hopes for the Tampa Bay Rowdies were dented on Wednesday night after the 3-2 loss to Indy Eleven. Joe Cole powered the Rowdies’ comeback with a pair of goals, one of which was of the highest quality on a strike from distance, but a late goal left Tampa Bay (5-7-8, 22 Fall; 9-11-10, 38 Combined) with no points and a three-point gap still to make up in the Combined Standings. Wednesday’s game was the second game in a row that Tampa Bay has fallen in a two-goal hole to start a game. The Rowdies now must rebound against Ottawa.

Fury FC (5-6-9, 21 Fall; 7-9-14, 30 Combined) is also trying to rebound from a dip in form that has resulted in three losses in the last four games. The club lost, 3-1, a weekend ago to Rayo OKC. Ryan Williams and Giuseppe Gentile have been bright spots during the recent stretch, scoring the last four Fury FC goals – Williams and Gentile have two goals apiece over the past four contests.
