Aditya Yewale notched up a hat-trick to inspire Infant Jesus (Malad) to a 5-2 win over Children's Academy (Kandivli) in a boys U-12 Division-III league match of the MSSA inter-school football tournament at Azad Maidan on Monday.
Aditya showed excellent scoring touch and netted the team's first three goals before Shaurya Kadam and Gaurav Pujari struck once each to complete the tally for the Malad lads. Children's Academy did well to fight back but a goal each by Krishang Dholakia and Neev Sharma wasn't enough in the end.
