Kush Modi, 11, played a significant role by scoring the all-important winning goal to help Rustomjee Cambridge International School (Dahisar) emerge champions, defeating St Andrew’s High School (Bandra) 1-0 in the boys U-12 Div-III final of the MSSA inter-school football tournament at Azad Maidan
on Thursday.
After soaking in plenty of pressure, the Rustomjee Cambridge boys, against the run of play, took the lead midway through the second half when Kush intercepted Megh Rawte’s square pass from the right at the top of the box. He controlled the ball before firing a firm right-footer past St Andrew’s goalkeeper Jaivik Solanki to trigger a celebration among his teammates.
