Defending champions Don Bosco (Matunga) moved a step closer towards the defence of their crown as they defeated Bombay Scottish (Mahim) 2-0 to advance to the boys' U-14 Div I semi-finals of the Mumbai Schools Sports Association-organised inter-school football tournament at Azad Maidan yesterday.

Don Bosco opened the scoring in the 13th minute when Zarayus Anklesaria combined perfectly with Vedant Sawant to break down the rival defence. Vedant picked up Zarayus's square pass and controlled the ball well before deftly flicking it past Scottish goalkeeper Kritaansh Khera. Later, Arzaan Panthaky scored with a long range shot in the 35th minute to secure Don Bosco's win.
