Indy Eleven made club history by reaching the Quarterfinals of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup for the first time after defeating USL Championship rival Detroit City FC 3-0.
Augustine Williams scored his seventh goal in thirteen games since joining the club before the new campaign. He has two Open Cup goals for Indy this season, while Stanley leads the team with two assists.
The scoring started with a Detroit City own goal from a Benjamin Ofeimu cross. Indy Eleven has scored their first goal in the 14th minute or earlier in all three U.S. Open Cup matches this season.
Indy Eleven scored two more goals in the first half. Douglas Martinez assisted Augi Williams for the first goal in the 33rd minute, and Aedan Stanley connected on a corner kick to Ofeimu for the second goal in the 36th minute.
Indy Eleven is unbeaten in its last eight matches, dating back to the Third Round win over Chicago Fire FC II on April 17.
They also became the second Indiana club in the tournament’s history to reach the Quarterfinals (the first being Indianapolis Inferno in 1992).
Indy Eleven will play against Atlanta United (MLS) on the road on July 9 or 10 in the Quarterfinals.
