OPEN CUP MAGIC, YEAR 2
Indianapolis- Indy Eleven defender Hayden White celebrated his 30th birthday a day late with the game-winning goal in the 123rd minute off an assist from midfielder Cam Lindley in the Boys in Blue’s 1-0 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Third Round victory over Miami FC in added extra time on Wednesday at Carroll Stadium.
Lindley delivered a perfect corner kick that White flicked home into the right corner of the goal in the final minute of stoppage time in the second 15-minute overtime period. It was White’s first Indy Eleven goal and the 29th career assist for Lindley.
Indy Eleven rekindled its 2024 Open Cup magic when it won four straight matches to reach the Open Cup semifinals. The Boys in Blue will travel to MLS side Philadelphia Union for the Open Cup Round of 32 on Wednesday, May 7 at 7:30 pm on Paramount+
Four Indy players (Reice Charles-Cook, Elliot Collier, Finn McRobb, Brem Soumaoro) made season debuts, with Elvis Amoh, Logan Neidlinger, and Josh O’Brien making their first starts of 2025.
In his Boys in Blue debut, Charles-Cook made six saves in 119 minutes to help record a clean sheet. The Lewisham, England, native was active in added extra time with three saves in the first extra session, including a kick save in the 98th minute on a shot by forward Francisco Bonfiglio.
The Boys in Blue had their best chance in added extra time in the 108th minute when midfielder Bruno Rendon centered to forward Edward Kizza, but his header struck the left goal post.
In the first half, Indy Eleven dominated possession, with the best scoring chance in the 23rd minute when Rendon’s shot off a pass from Collier was punched over the top by Miami keeper Bill Hamid.

QUICK STARTERS

FOSTER EARNS USLC “TEAM OF THE WEEK” HONORS
Boys in Blue forward Maalique Foster has been named to the USL Championship “Team of the Week” for the second consecutive week after his performance Saturday vs. North Carolina FC.
In the 48th minute, Foster showed his speed to catch up to a long ball from just outside his own area from defender Pat Hogan, reaching it just prior to it reaching the endline and centering it to forward Edward Kizza, who buried it with a one-touch finish for his first goal for Boys in Blue.
In the match, Foster led Indy Eleven in chances created (3), crosses attempted (6), and successful dribbles (2), and he was tied for third in shots (2).
On the season, Foster has a goal and an assist, he leads Indy Eleven in chances created (8), and he is third in fouls won (6) while playing 339 minutes and starting all four matches. The Portmore, Jamaica, native is tied for eighth in the USLC in chances created and tied for 14th in assists.
This marks the third time that the 28-year-old Foster has earned “Team of the Week” recognition as a member of the Boys in Blue, as he received that status last week after scoring a goal and after scoring his first Indy Eleven goal vs. El Paso Locomotive in Week 28 last season.
This is the fourth consecutive week that Indy Eleven is represented on the USL Championship “Team of the Week”, with Jack Blake and Pat Hogan in Week 2, Bruno Rendon in Week 3, and Foster in Weeks 4 and 5.

Murphy is tied for seventh in the USLC in interceptions (7) and he is tied for third on the team in tackles won (5).
