Indy Eleven dismantled Brooklyn FC 4–0 at home on Tuesday night in USL Championship action, with Jack Blake scoring twice and Bruno Manuel Rendón pulling the strings throughout a dominant first-half performance.
Blake opened the scoring in the 17th minute, finishing off a Rendón delivery to give Indy an early lead. Brooklyn's Stefan Stojanovic picked up a yellow card just four minutes later as the visitors struggled to contain the hosts' attacking rhythm. Rendón then got on the scoresheet himself in the 33rd minute, converting from a Josh O'Brien assist to double the advantage.
Indy weren't done before the break. Blake grabbed his second in the 40th minute, again combining with Rendón, who registered his second assist of the evening. Brooklyn went into halftime staring at a three-goal deficit with little to show going forward.
Any hope of a second-half comeback lasted roughly three minutes. Edward Kizza made it 4–0 in the 48th minute, with Blake — this time the provider — setting him up to put the result firmly beyond doubt. The final 40-plus minutes played out without further damage, though Indy's Charles Sharp was cautioned in the 75th minute.
Blake finished the night with two goals and an assist, while Rendón contributed a goal and two assists in a performance that linked Indy's attack at every turn. Brooklyn, by contrast, offered almost nothing in response and will need to regroup quickly.
The comprehensive victory strengthens Indy Eleven's position in the USL Championship standings as the season enters its final stretch.
