Substitute Ryan Fernandes did the trick by scoring the winning goal that propelled St Joseph's Secondary School (Malad) into the semi-finals. The Orlem side snatched a 1-0 win over Lakshdham School (Goregaon) in the Mumbai Schools Sports Association-organised boys' U-16 quarter-final match of the Ahmed Sailor knockout inter-school football tournament, at Azad Maidan yesterday.

Ryan, who replaced Tanishq Nath early in the second half, tapped in the rebound after Ronit Singh's angular shot from the right of the penalty area was blocked by Lakshdham goalkeeper Gaurav Warke, in the 48th minute.
