Banking on a resolute defensive performance, DG Khetan International School (Malad) won the boys U-16 third division title in the MSSA inter-school football tournament, beating a formidable St Anthony’s High School (Malwani) 5-4 via tie-breaker at the St Francis D’Assisi ground, Borivli, on Wednesday.

DG Khetan’s backline must be credited for holding fort as the St Anthony’s boys  attacked relentlessly. In the tie-breaker,  DG Khetan’s Daksh Jamnani, Ishaan Nay, Aaroush Bardeshkar, Hridhaan Hanoa and Ethan Sequeira converted from the spot, while St Anthony’s scored through  Daksh Koli, Jeet Naike, Devesh Koli and Krishit Koli scored for the Malwani side.
