Suggested Video

Minooka and Plainfield East are an even 5-5 against one another since August of 2016, but likely not for long. The Minooka Indians will venture away from home to face off against the Plainfield East Bengals at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Minooka's last three matchups have been decided by no more than a goal, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.

Last Saturday, neither Minooka nor Normal Community could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 2-2 draw. That draw made it three straight for the Indians.

Meanwhile, Plainfield East's season-opener on Tuesday wasn't quite what the team was looking for considering the end result. They played to a draw too, finishing 1-1 against Downers Grove South.

Plainfield East's goal came courtesy of Juan Pablo Escobar.

Minooka's draw gives them a new season record of 0-0-3. Meanwhile, Plainfield East's record is now 0-0-1.

Minooka skirted past Plainfield East 1-0 when the teams last played back in August of 2023. The rematch might be a little tougher for Minooka since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
