Striker Farooqui Said led from the front as St Mary&rsquo;s ICSE, Mazagaon beat St Xavier&rsquo;s, Borivli 6-1 in a quarter-final match of the Mumbai Schools Sports Association (MSSA) Boys&rsquo; U-16 Div II tournament at Azad Maidan. <img alt="Farooqui Said" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/aug/Farooqui-Said.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 361px;" /> St Mary&rsquo;s ICSE&rsquo;s Farooqui Said heads to score against St Xavier&rsquo;s, Borivli at Azad Maidan yesterday. Pic/Atul Kamble Said (15) scored five of those goals: two of them within the first 15 minutes as the Mazagaon outfit romped home in some style. Sanghavi Rushat scored the other goal for Mary&rsquo;s in the 49th minute. Ameya Kirtikar was on target for the Borivli outfit. Said praised his teammates for helping him find the target repeatedly. &ldquo;I scored five goals three years ago in an U-14 MSSA game. But scoring it in the quarter-finals is special. I&rsquo;m very happy with my performance. But this wouldn&rsquo;t have been possible without my teammates&rsquo; help. They gave me the ball and helped me score. They deserve credit for the win as much as I do,&rdquo; Said toldu00a0MiD DAY. Said, who wants to be famous like his idols Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, missed the whole of last season owing to a muscle tear, and the youngster is relieved that he has been able to return to the football pitch. &ldquo;While playing a match in school, I found it difficult to lift my leg. Later, when I went to the doctor he told me that I had a muscle tear on both my thighs. I missed playing football. But now I am glad I scored not one but five goals,&rdquo; said the Class X student who also represents his school in athletics and basketball. Said now wants to pass out by winning the Div II title and getting his school promoted to Div I. &ldquo;I just pray that we give our school a promotion before passing out,&rdquo; said the Mumbai Central lad.
