MATCH PREVIEW One week removed from a heartbreaking 4-3 home loss to Bethlehem Steel FC, the Swope Park Rangers conclude their three-game homestand on Monday in their inaugural USL Championship meeting with Indy Eleven. The Rangers were narrowly denied their first win of the season against Steel FC, taking a 3-1 lead into the final 20 minutes only to see it evaporate in the late stages. Forward Ethan Vanacore-Decker opened the scoring for the hosts before winger Jerome Ngom Mbekeli struck on either side of halftime, delivering a rampant performance that culminated in USL Championship Team of the Week accolades. Bethlehem roared back, however, as an unfortunate own goal, a Benjemin Ofeimu header and a Sergio Santos strike gave the visitors all three points.
