The Worthington Trojans boys soccer team is now 4-0 this season, as they blanked Marshall 3-0 in their season’s home opener.
Marshall outplayed the Trojans in the first half, yet the Tigers came away empty-handed on multiple scoring opportunities while the Trojans netted one goal. Alan Flores scored with 32:28 left before intermission for the 1-0 edge.
WHS then came out and immediately controlled play in the second half, and it didn’t take long for the Trojans to get their second goal. Santos Orellana scored with 36:23 remaining to make it 2-0, and Kaine Vela added a goal on a beautiful pass from Bayron Echeverria to make it 3-0.
The Trojans will play at Waseca tonight.

Jordan got another TD before halftime for a 26-13 edge, and a Trojan drive stalled at the Hubmen 1 as time expired. Jordan then tacked on two more TDs in the second half.
