Monterey Bay falls 3-1 in Indianapolis
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (Saturday, April 11, 2026) – Monterey Bay FC (0-4-2, 2 points) remains winless to start the 2026 campaign following a 3-1 loss to Indy Eleven (2-1-2, 8 points) at Michael A. Carroll Stadium.
The match began with Indy Eleven applying heavy pressure, breaking through in the 13th minute when Bruno Rendón latched onto a precise through-ball from Cam Lindley to slot home the opening goal. Monterey Bay’s defense, led by goalkeeper Fernando Delgado, worked tirelessly to keep the deficit at one through the first half despite being outshot 9-3 in the opening 45 minutes.
Monterey Bay found a spark early in the second half. In the 51st minute, Wesley Leggett cut inside from the top of the box and curled a magnificent strike into the bottom corner to level the score. However, the celebration was short-lived. Just one minute later, Indy Eleven responded when Jack Blake pounced on a rebound in the box, recording his 28th career goal for the club and cementing his place as Indy’s all-time leading scorer.
Indy Eleven added an insurance goal in the 68th minute through Loïc Mesanvi, who finished a one-on-one opportunity after a long distribution from the back. Monterey Bay finished the night with seven shot attempts but struggled to break through Indy’s organized defensive block in the closing stages.
Monterey Bay Football Club will remain away to face Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC in Colorado Springs Saturday, April 18, with kickoff scheduled for 2 p.m. PT.
