Ezequiel Quijada of Canoga Park knows how to score goals in soccer. He’s been doing it since he was a young boy growing up in El Salvador.

“That’s my thing _ score, score, score,” he said.

Quijada became the most successful goal scorer in City Section history on Tuesday, scoring twice in a 7-0 victory over Chatsworth to give him 122 goals in his four years of high school soccer.

“It feels good,” he said. “Everyone keeps congratulating me, but it’s team work.”

Canoga Park will face Birmingham on Wednesday in a semifinal game of the Valley Classic at 11 a.m. at Crespi.
