Campion School (Colaba) goalkeeper Kabir Bhatia, 15, played a significant role, making some excellent timely saves in regulation time and then made two crucial saves in the tie-breaker to help his school overcome a fancied St Mary’s ICSE (Mazgaon) 3-0 via tie-breaker in a keenly fought boys’ U-17 semi-final of the District Sports Office (DSO) Mumbai City inter-school football tournament at the Mumbai Police ground, Naigaon on Thursday.
In the shootout, Campion skipper Iryaveer Chawla, Rivaan Karachiwala and Ayan Mehta successfully converted, while St Mary’s failed to score a single penalty. Showing good anticipation Kabir dived to his left to save the first attempt from Nathan Nessiah and then blocked Rajveer Chauhan’s shot before Kahaan Goregaonkar hit wide.
