Bogard’s Banger Rescues Result in Louisville
8/31/2026 10:00:00 PM | Men's Soccer
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana men's soccer (3-0-1, 0-0-0 B1G) remains unbeaten thanks to an Easton Bogard equalizing strike, as the Hoosiers drew with Louisville (3-0-1, 0-0-0 ACC), 1-1, Monday (Aug. 31) night at the Dr. Mark & Cindy Lynn Family Stadium.
IU still has not conceded from open play this season, as a 58th-minute curling free kick was the lone Louisville chance that beat Indiana goalkeeper Michal Mroz Monday night. Easton Bogard responded with a splendid strike of his own, curling to the top corner from outside the box.
KEY MOMENTS
• 45' – The first half was a chess match with few dangerous chances, and the Cardinals held a 4-1 shots advantage going into the break.
• 58' – GOAL! The home team won a free kick about 25 yards out and took advantage. Andrés Escudero bended his right-footed shot to the top left corner just out of Mroz's reach and gave UofL the advantage. Louisville 1, Indiana 0
• 58' – Moments after the restart, the referee pointed to the spot at the other end after Clay Murador went down in the box. However, VAR overturned the call and took away the Indiana chance.
• 67' – GOAL! Indiana and Bogard came back with their own "moment of brilliance," as the forward received Alex Barger's pass on the left side of the box, cut inside, faked a shot, took a touch and bent his shot into the right top corner. Indiana 1, Louisville 1
• 85' – Josh Maher nearly won it with a header on goal from a corner, but his attempt went straight to the keeper.
NOTABLES
• Louisville's goal in the 58th minute marked the first time Indiana has trailed this season. They trailed for nine minutes before grabbing the equalizer.
• Indiana's lone concessions this season have come from a penalty versus Notre Dame (Aug. 20) and UofL's free kick Monday night, meaning IU has not allowed a goal from open play through four matches (360 minutes).
• Bogard has scored three goals in four matches this season. When counting exhibition matches, the third-year forward has scored seven goals in six games.
• Barger recorded his second assist of the season, tying his career high.
UP NEXT
Indiana returns home to host the adidas/IU Credit Union Classic on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium. The Hoosiers will welcome Cal Poly to Bloomington on Friday (Sept. 4) before taking on Denver one week from tonight (Sept. 7).
