Having things much in control right from the outset, the Mahim school, who had begun their campaign with a reversal, did extremely well to bounce back and record consecutive wins to secure their spot in the quarter-finals with a late strike in injury time.

Meanwhile, defending champions Don Bosco, despite an unconvincing performance, maintained their unbeaten streak, heading into the playoffs with a 1-1 draw against Cathedral & John Connon (Fort). Both teams scored their goals in the closing stages. Substitute Menash D'Souza gave the Matunga side the lead, before the Fort team quickly equalised through Veer Keida.
