Edison (15-4-1) advances to the semifinal round for the first time since 2019 and will play host to Harvard-Westlake on Saturday.

The Wolverines defeated Palmdale, 2-0, in the quarterfinals Wednesday.

After taking a 3-1 lead in the 67th minute on a goal from Oliver Worster, the Chargers appeared to be headed toward an easy victory.

But Worster’s goal wound up being huge, after Canyon’s Blake Hartfelder scored off a corner kick in the 77th minute to get the Comanches within a goal.

Then in the final minute of the match, the Comanches (13-7-3) had a throw-in about 15 yards from the net, setting up a good look and a final shot for Canyon.

Edison goalkeeper Andrew Mosham, who had made several fine stops during the match, made one final save before the game ended one minute later.

Mosham made a great save about five minutes earlier when the senior had to dive to his left to stop a bullet of a shot from Canyon’s Landon Sohegian.

“It’s surreal,” Mosham said. “We had a little bit of a slow start to begin with, by letting them score first. And then it’s just that our team has so much heart. We were so determined. We got one, we got a second. Once we got that second, we started going hard.”

Luke Ward scored 12 minutes into the match to give the Comanches the early lead.

Edison tied the score seven minutes later when Dylan Petruolo took a free kick 40 yards from the goal. He sent a perfect ball to Micah Novak who was positioned to the left of the goal and scored on a header without the ball touching the ground.

Two minutes later, Novak executed a perfect cross pass to Ben Hickman, who knocked in the Chargers’ second goal.

“We got that first goal and there was some hope,” Novak said. “The second was the best feeling. It was getting close to halftime. We got the third and we felt like we won it.”

Then it became a matter of having to hang on for the Chargers after Hartfelder scored Canyon’s second goal.

“It’s a classic CIF (playoff) match,” Edison coach Charlie Breneman said. “It’s never fully under control. We thought maybe those last couple of minutes, the game was kind of done. It wasn’t done. They’re good at corner kicks. That’s the way they were going to score on us. Our keeper kept us in it and had two or three really big saves for us.”
