Ottawa Fury FC scored four goals for the second time this season Saturday en route to a 4-2 victory over its expansion cousin Indy Eleven.

The win was Ottawa’s first on the road and came in large part thanks to midfielder Tony Donatelli who scored twice in the first half to give him three goals in two games.

But it was Oliver’s third goal of the season early in the 68th minute that clinched it for the Fury who, until the goal, had been badly outplayed coming out of halftime.

Oliver converted a dish from forward Carl Haworth, who had rushed the net low on the left side before sending it towards the Brazilian for the finish. The goal came off the first bit of sustained possession Ottawa had to that point in the second half and it was a dagger to Indy’s hopes of a comeback.

It was the most goals Indy has allowed this year and kept them at winless record in the spring season.

Fury head coach Marc Dos Santos was pleased with his team’s play, even if he did feel they gave up a few too many chances.

“I thought we had a great game,” he said, adding he was pleased with his squad’s ability to fight through Indy pressure in the second half. “We knew the first 20 minutes we would have to suffer to keep our 3-2 (lead). The fourth goal was very very important.”

The Eleven came out of the intermission guns blazing after a momentum-shifting score in the 45th minute, when 19-year-old forward Ben Spencer’s was able to split the Ottawa defenders to receive a pass and then take an uncontested shot on Fury goalkeeper Devala.

Dos Santos said he wasn’t too upset with the play that led to the goal against.

“I think the ball for Spencer was very good and the finish was fantastic,” he said.

The goal made the score 3-2 Ottawa at the half and finished off what was essentially a shooting gallery in the first 45 minutes.

Donatelli fired a great shot past Indy keeper Kristian Nicht for his first of two to give Ottawa a 1-0 lead in the 16th minute. But only minutes later, Indy was awarded a questionable penalty kick when Blake Smith — on loan from Montreal Impact — was ruled to have been tripped up by Ottawa’s Mason Trafford in the penalty box.

Eleven forward Michael Ambersley made no mistake on the penalty and buried the shot behind Gorrick to tie the match at 1.

The match hit a bit of a lull before Ottawa got going again, taking a 2-1 lead after Fury defender Omar Jarun knocked home a rebound off a Richie Ryan corner kick in the 40th minute before Donatelli made it 3-1 two minutes later on another powerful shot for his second score of the match.

Dos Santos credited Indianapolis for playing a tough game and said they were better than their last-place spot in the NASL standings indicate.

“(They are) better than what people think and offensively they’re extremely dangerous,” he said.

The game was played in front of a sold out crowd of 10,500 in Indianapolis, which has been roughly the team’s average attendance this season. Dos Santos said the crowd was impressive.

“We won in a very difficult place,” he said. “This place is going to be one of the most difficult place to win eventually.”

Ottawa will return home to train at Carleton University this week before facing the San Antonio Scorpions next Saturday night at home. ​

Good

Tony Donatelli appears to have found his scoring touch with Ottawa, scoring twice against Indy to give him three goals in the last two games.

Bad

The penalty kick awarded to Indy after Blake Smith went down in the Ottawa box was a soft call. Would have been a bone of contention had it impacted the final result.
