Lexington-Two goals within two minutes of each other early on in the second half helped the Lexington boys soccer team to a 2-1 win over Elkhorn on Saturday afternoon at the B-4 District Final in Lexington. Edin Lima’s first goal of the season off of a rebound tied the game in the 56th minute and then Jose Leiva scored off of an assist from Jorge Zamora in the 58th minute that gave Lexington the lead for good.
The Minutemen found themselves down 1-0 four minutes into the match after Elkhorn scored off of a corner as Caleb Kimmell headed one for the Antlers.
