Reigning champions Don Bosco High School (Matunga) launched their title defence in impressive fashion. The Matunga boys dished out a clinical performance to hand Campion School (Cooperage Road) a 4-0 defeat in the season-opening U-16 Division-I Group ‘B’ match of the MSSA inter-school football tournament at the St Francis D’Assisi High School ground, Borivli, on Monday.
Skipper Yohaan Panjuani, 15, led by example, scoring two goals inside the final 15 minutes. Earlier, Aayush Kharat netted the opening goal in the fifth minute when he trapped a goal-kick and took a snap shot on goal. Campion goalkeeper Aarav Sanghavi misjudged the flight of the ball and was left stranded as it sailed over his outstretched hands and dipped into the net. Eight minutes later, the Campion defence was caught napping as they failed to cut off Mrigank More’s free-kick from outside the box. Arya Kamble darted in and smartly headed home past goalkeeper Aarav, who was rooted to the ground.
