Four goals, three of them touched by one man. Jack Blake scored twice and laid on an assist as Indy Eleven put Brooklyn FC to the sword 4-0, walking off with a match rating of 9.5 that told the story of the night better than any scoreline could.
A Night That Belonged to One Midfielder
Blake operates in midfield, but on this occasion he did a forward's job and then some. His brace accounted for half of Indy Eleven's tally, and the assist meant he had a direct hand in three of the four goals scored against Brooklyn FC. That kind of involvement, goals and creation combined, is rare for a player not listed as an out and out striker.
Brooklyn FC never found an answer. Once Indy Eleven built their lead, the game had the feel of a side chasing shadows, and Blake was often the one pulling the strings that stretched the gap further.
The Numbers Behind the Performance
- Goals: 2
- Assists: 1
- Match rating: 9.5
A 9.5 rating in a 4-0 win is about as emphatic as individual data gets. It reflects not just the finishing but the full ninety minutes of influence, the kind of display that decides matches on its own rather than simply contributing to one.
For Indy Eleven, the result is as clean as they come: four scored, none conceded, and a midfielder who turned a routine fixture into a personal showcase. For Brooklyn FC, there will be little to take from a night where one opposition player alone did more damage than their entire attack.
