Christ Church (Byculla) got the better of Campion School (Colaba) 4-2 via tie-breaker in a boys’ U-16 Division-I quarter-final of the MSSA inter-school football tournament at the St Francis D’Assisi HS ground, Borivli, on Monday.


The lively and entertaining contest finished in a goalless draw and in the resultant penalty shootout, the Christ Church players showed better confidence and scored from their first four attempts. Abizer Manasawala, Adnan Gilitwala, Abdar Chasmawala and Mohammad Mojawala made no mistake from the spot to secure Christ Church a place in the semi-finals. 


Christ Church coach Ranzie Kalicharan’s move to replace first choice goalkeeper Jai Haria with Kian Irani minutes from the final whistle paid off. In the tie-breaker, Kian blocked Campion striker Riwaan Karachiwala’s attempt while Siddhant Sharma’s shot hit the horizontal bar. Only Ayan Mehta and Jayden D’Souza managed to convert for Campion.
