Vivan Roshan of Campion (Colaba) and Yash Gaware of ST Lawrence (Kandivli), both played with the No. 10 jersey and shone brightest from their respective teams as they scored the lone goals in an otherwise dull MSSA U-16 Div-I league match which finished in a 1-1 draw at Azad Maidan yesterday.

Last year's runners-up Campion were a pale shadow of the team from last season and were fortunate to come away with a point. After a barren first half, Campion forged ahead in the 38th minute when Vivan chased Aman Hoosein's long aerial ball and headed over a hesitant St Lawrence goalkeeper Aniket Jaiswal. St Lawrence cancelled out Campion's solitary goal midway through the second half, when their dead-ball specialist Yash scored off a swerving free-kick from 25 yards to beat goalkeeper Zane Antia.
