For some, saving goals comes as easy as scoring them. St Francis D'Assisi (Borivali) student Arbaaz Shaikh is one of them.
The 11-year-old first scored a goal during regulation time to put his side in a wining position against Bandra's St Stanislaus school. But later when the opposition drew parity, Arbaaz not only made his spot kick count during the tie-breaker, but also doubled up as bar tender to come up with a couple of splendid saves to see his team through to the semis in the under-12 category of the NIKE-MSSA inter-school football tournament at Azad Maidan yesterday.
The Borivali side, thanks to Arbaaz's heroics, ended up 4-3 winners at the end of the tie breaker. "I am very happy with my performance and the fact that I helped my team into the semi final is very satisfying," A Jubilant Arbaaz said post-match.
