Mahi Kalyankar delivered the goods for BJPC High School (Charni Road) by scoring both the goals, which earned them a 2-0 win against Bombay Scottish 'B' (Mahim) in a girls' under-12 Division-II match of the MSSA inter-school football tournament at Azad Maidan on Tuesday.
Dashing forward Mahi pounced on an early opening to slot home the first goal in the third minute of the 40-minute encounter. The girls from the Mahim school did well to put up a fight and managed to create a few chances to strike back, but they were unable to convert those opportunities and failed to open their account.
