A last-gasp equaliser from Asil Mujawar enabled St Xavier's High School (Mira Road) to share points with Dr S Radhakrishnan (Malad) with a 1-1 draw in a third division league match of the MSSA inter-school football tournament at the St Francis D'Assisi ground, Borivli, on Wednesday.

In the 14th minute, Radhakrishnan's Yash Vishwakarma headed home after a fine delivery from Josiah Chettiar off a free-kick down the right. The equaliser came late in the second half, when Asil tapped in following a goalmouth melee just before the final whistle.
