Showing a great degree of spirit and resilience, Gokuldham High School (Goregaon) staved off a strong second half challenge from Don Bosco ‘B’ (Matunga) to come through by a narrow 2-1 margin in their boys under-16 second division playoff fixture of the MSSA inter-school football tournament at the St Francis D’Assisi football ground, Borivli, on Monday.
En route to securing their place in the quarter-finals, Gokuldham, against the run of play, scored twice in quick succession during the first half through Shubham Sahoo and Rohit Jadhav. An own goal enabled Bosco reduce the margin later in the second half where they enjoyed the bulk of the possession.
