Five of the top 10-ranked teams, including the top four seeds, are still in the running for the CIF Southern Section Division 1 boys' soccer championship.
Edison High is one of those remaining teams, and it's a golden feeling for the Chargers.
The division's No. 2 seed needed two late scores, including a goal two minutes into a overtime by Jack Slavik, to pull out a 2-1 victory Tuesday at Long Beach Cabrillo. Slavik's golden goal, preceded by a goal by teammate Connor Gordon late in the second half, allowed the Chargers to slip past the upset-minded Jaguars, and into Thursday's quarterfinal round.
Edison, 23-1-1 overall, will play host to Bay League champion and seventh-ranked Palos Verdes at 3 p.m. Thursday. The winner moves on to a semifinal date on Tuesday. Against either No. 3-seeded San Clemente (South Coast League champ) or St. John Bosco (Trinity League No. 2).
