RN Podar (Santacruz) were not exactly convincing in their performance, but somehow thwarted the challenge from Fatima School (Vidyavihar) with a narrow 2-1 win in a keenly contested boys U-16 third division clash of the MSSA inter-school football tournament at St Francis D’Assisi ground, Borivli, on Friday.
Marwan Agashe netted the opener for RN Podar in as early as the fourth minute, but Fatima School came back strongly and deservingly earned a penalty when Danish Shaikh was fouled inside the danger area. Fatima School skipper Nash D’Souza stepped up and converted from the spot to make it 1-1 in the 11th minute.
