The Swope Park Rangers (0-3-1, 1 point) suffered a 3-1 defeat to visiting Indy Eleven (3-1-0, 9 points) on Monday night at Children’s Mercy Park.
The Rangers fell behind in just the second minute as Camden Riley’s back pass to Eric Dick was picked off by former SPR forward Dane Kelly, who rounded Dick and slotted into an empty net to give Indy Eleven an early lead.
It got worse for the home side as Thomas Enevoldsen doubled Indy Eleven’s lead in the sixth minute, tapping home Kelly’s knockdown from a seemingly offside position.
The Rangers pulled within one following a well-worked goal in the 26th minute as left back Alexsander shimmied away from his marker in his own half before driving a full 50 yards with the ball.
