Nishant Gerald helped St Mary's ICSE (Mazgaon) draw level after trailing Campion (Cooperage) by a goal.
It was a perfect way to usher in his 14th birthday. Nishant Gerald helped St Mary's ICSE (Mazgaon) draw level after trailing Campion (Cooperage) by a goal. His last-minute equaliser meant that the second round Nike-MSSA Ahmed Sailor match had to be forced into a tie-breaker.
However, having conceded the equaliser at the death considerably dented the mood in the Campion camp. It appeared as though they were under tremendous pressure going into the tie-breaker. Eventually, it was the Mazgaon boys who emerged victorious 4-2 after the penalties and advanced in the third round.u00a0 Nishant, who turned 14 yesterday said: "I wanted to score very badly since I didn't score a single goal this season. My teammates told me that since today is my birthday, I'll have some luck, which I felt I had. This was the perfect birthday gift I could ever expect."u00a0u00a0u00a0u00a0
