After the match ended 0-0, St Paul’s missed the first kick of the tie-breaker when Aryan Arvardekar’s left-footed chip sailed over the horizontal. However, their remaining four shooters—Manthan Walke, Gururaj Mane, Rudra Patil, and Avanish Matkar—made no mistake. Vidhan Patel and Reeyan Gulati missed from the spot for St Mary’s while Adhyaan Shetty and Huzefa Bearingwala converted their attempts.
