Key Players

Saad is American born but represents Lebanon internationally. This year the forward has four goals and two assists.


Ayoze Garcia has been lining up at left back for Indy in his first season with the side. Ayoze comes to Indy after a long tenure with the New York Cosmos in the NASL. The Spaniard has contributed four goals and two assists in 10 games to sit tied for the team lead in both categories with Saad.


Canadian Content

Two Canadians are currently suiting up for Indy: defenders Karl Ouimette and Tyler Pasher. Ouimette is in his first season with Indy after coming over from the now-defunct San Francisco Deltas. The 25-year-old has been capped 18 times for Canada and spent time with both the Montreal Impact and the New York Red Bulls in MLS. The native of Repentigny, Quebec has made 11 appearances this year.


Pasher is a former TFC Academy player who left in 2012 to start his career in Finland. Pasher bounced around North America on his way to Indy. The defender has made six appearances this season scoring once.


The match is being played in Rochester, New York at Marina Auto Stadium but it will not be streamed. You can get tickets here
