Diz Pe scores first of 2023, Quinn tallies 50th career assist
MIAMI (Saturday, August 12, 2023) – It was another night for the history books as Indy Eleven defeated The Miami FC, 1-0, on Saturday in Miami. The victory ended a three-match win streak for Miami, the hottest team in the USL Championship’s Eastern Conference, who had only given up one goal in the stretch.
Adrian Diz Pe had the match-winning strike as he headed in a corner from Aodhan Quinn to improve the Eleven to 8-9-7 on the season. The 51st-minute game winner was the first of the season for Diz Pe who came on for Indy at the half, and the assist was the 50th career for Quinn.
Quinn is now fourth all-time time in the USL Championship for regular season assists and moved up to a tie for fourth with four players, including teammate Solomon Asante, with 103 (53G/50A) combined goals and assists. Asante reached the feat on Wednesday against Birmingham Legion FC with his third career USLC match with three assists, and now sits at 51 goals and 52 assists. Quinn and Asante are the only two players in the USL Championship who have reached the 50/50 threshold.
Miami fell to 6-10-8 with the loss and are now five points behind Indy in the playoff push. Indy also jumped FC Tulsa (29) and sit in seventh in the USLC Eastern Conference with 31 points.
The Eleven earned the 55%-45% edge in possession and outshot Miami 11-6, including 3-1 in shots on target. Jack Blake had four shots for Indy, while Stefano Pinho put a pair on target. Tim Trilk secured his second shutout of the season in as many games, tallying two saves, to bring the Eleven to eight clean sheets in 2023.
Next up, the Boys in Blue travel to El Paso Locomotive FC Saturday for a 9:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. MT kickoff on ESPN+. It is the second game of a three-match road trip.
