Pelican Rapids lived up to their top seed position on Thursday with an impressive 8-0 win over Crookston in the Section 8A boys’ soccer quarterfinals at David Brown Field in Pelican Rapids.

The Vikings got off to a fast start with a goal in the eighth minute by Sidiq Farah off a rebound.  Sebastian Centeno scored the next two goals on assists from Jesus Moreno and Mohamed Ahmed.  Centeno then returned the favor to Ahmed to close out the first half scoring.

Yahir Diaz scored from Sidiq Farah early in the second half to give the home team a 5-0 lead.  Farah then assisted on a goal by Jesus Moreno, setting him up with a beautiful crossing pass in front of the net.  Ahmed scored unassisted and Moreno scored from Centeno to close out the day.

The Vikings will host Hillcrest Lutheran Academy in a semifinal round contest at 1:00pm Saturday.
