Having the bulk of the possession, St Francis attacked well and took a 1-0 lead before the breather. On resumption, St Sebastian continued to live dangerously, playing too deep inside their own half. Taking advantage of this, St Francis added two more goals to the tally.
In another keenly contested match, Jamnabai Narsee (Juhu) and Thakur Public School (Kandivli) played out a goalless draw. Jamnabai looked a bit more threatening than Thakur, but lacked creativity upfront. Meanwhile, St Anthony’s (Malvani) blanked St Blaise (Amboli) 5-0 thanks to a hat-trick by skipper Jeet Natke. Christian Koli and Manas Supugade added a goal each to complete the rout.
