The Bandra school scored in the 18th minute when captain Triaaksh Kolke squared it for Kabir Talwar, who duly obliged. They continued to probe, but were mostly limited to long shots. Bombay International were limited to just one chance in the whole match which fell to an unmarked Amaam Habibulla in the box, but he could not get his shot past -keeper Aman Mehra.
With seven points from four games Arya Vidya Mandir have all but qualified for the play-offs behind Our Lady of Health High School Sahar, who have nine points from three games and have nailed down the first place.
Their closest rivals for the second place, St Theresa-s High School Bandra, have just one point from two games, and would have to register big wins in their remaining two games to stand any chance of progressing.
