Don Bosco ‘B’ (Matunga) were fortunate to scrape past a profligate Sacred Heart Boys School (Santacruz) by snatching a 2-0 win in a boys’ U-16 Div-III pre-quarterfinal match of the MSSA inter-school football tournament at the St Francis D’Assisi High School ground, Borivli, on Friday.
The Sacred Heart schoolboys showed better understanding and co-ordination and had almost half a dozen scoring opportunities, but they surprisingly failed to convert. Sacred Heart’s best effort was when in the first half, Vikalp Tambe’s low shot was saved by Bosco goalkeeper Shervan Parab, who dived to his left to block the ball. And in the second half, Sacred Hearts’s prolific goal scorer Vignesh Sharma left lob beat goalkeeper Shervan, but narrowly sailed over the horizontal bar.
