Gameday Report: August 22, Week 24 By NICHOLAS MURRAY - nicholas.murray@uslsoccer.com, 08/22/18, 9:17PM EDT (extracted just the Toronto FC II game) 3. Dylan Mares’ return to the Indy Eleven lineup for the first time since the 2016 produced a fairytale ending for the hosts as the midfielder scored the game-winner in a hard-fought 3-2 victory against Toronto FC II at Lucas Oil Stadium on Wednesday night. After being pegged back by a pair of outstanding finishes by TFC II’s Tsubasa Endoh and Jordan Hamilton after taking a two-goal lead in the first half, Indy got the three points it needed for its playoff efforts thanks to a fine run and finish by Mares early in the second that likely had Indy fans having flashbacks to his first stint with the club.

Toronto went close to taking the lead in the 10th minute when Jordan Hamilton curled a shot just high and wide of the top-right corner from 14 yards, but the hosts took the lead eight minutes later as Ben Speas got in behind the TFC II defense and finished calmly. Jack McInerney doubled Indy’s lead in the 24th minute as a loose ball fell to him in the penalty area for a shot to the left corner, but then Toronto pulled a goal back five minutes later as Tsubasa Endoh curled home a free kick from 20 yards to the top-left corner. TFC II got on level terms in the 34th minute as Hamilton powered home a finish to the bottom-left corner from 30 yards that left things all square at the break. Indy regained the lead in the 58th minute as Dylan Mares struck on his return to the side as he curled home a shot to the right corner after a driving run from midfield. Toronto had a late chance with six minutes to go to find an equalizer as Matt Srbely had a back-post header that he couldn’t put on goal, but Indy saw out the victory to move three points closer to a place in the postseason.
