Reigning champions Don Bosco (Matunga) had quite a fight on hands and labored to a 2-0 win against a spirited Fazlani High School (Mazgaon) in the Mumbai Schools Sports Association-organised boys' U-16 quarter-final match of the Ahmed Sailor knockout inter-school football tournament at Azad Maidan yesterday.


Fazlani showed great character and put up a gallant display against the formidable Don Bosco outfit. But, after defending resolutely for long spells Fazlani conceded a soft goal following a misunderstanding between goalkeeper Krishiv Khimawat and the central defenders in the 38th minute.


Bosco's attacking midfielder Krishna Karkera raced down the left flank and sent a low cross into the rival box, but the Fazlani goalkeeper and defenders were unable to clear the ball and Bosco's striker Faiz Siddique charged in and with a back-heel managed to deflect the ball home.


Bosco increased pressure on the opponents and five minutes later, doubled the lead. Keith Fernandes with a precise through pass found Shyam Redekar in the clear. Shyam controlled the ball as he advanced towards the Fazlani goal and calmly slotted past a hapless goalkeeper Krishiv in the 43rd minute to seal Bosco's victory and a place in the semi-finals.
