Indy produced early pressure in wide areas, with a few attacks resulting in corner kicks. The squad’s third corner of the opening 10 minutes led to the opening goal as a attempted clearance by the Flamingos came to Blake, who controlled 30 yards out and fired a blast that found the upper-right corner.

Madison’s best looks of the half were bunched together around the quarter-hour mark, but Jayden Onen’s shot from just inside the area was blocked out for a corner, while Derek Gebhard pushed a 20-yard effort just wide right of frame.

Indy’s Jonas Fjeldberg was at the heart of a trio of quality chances in the final 15 minutes of the first half, starting with a finish of a Blake cross to the doorstep that was chalked off for offside. The Norwegian had another shot saves in the 39th minute, and he played provider three minutes later with a dangerous back post cross that just eluded Sebastian Guenzatti’s sliding attempt to turn it home.

The Flamingos almost equalized just before the hour-mark when Gebhard hit the left post with a low shot off a corner kick. Two minutes later, Indy’s Adrian Diz Pe nearly made his presence felt, but his header off a set piece service to the top of the six-yard area flashed just over the crossbar.

Indy was content to control possession and kill off the game over the final half hour, which presented few looks of real quality for either side. A low effort from distance by the visitors in the 68th minute which sliced wide of the right post proved the most dangerous chance. Indy’s stout defensive effort resulted in their first shutout of the preseason, a good sign of things to come as the Eleven get ready to see the results count for real beginning next weekend in the Sunshine State.
