Veer Subandh, 13, scored a brace to lead Cathedral & John Connon (Fort) to a 2-0 win against St Joseph's Secondary School (Malad) in the Mumbai Schools Sports Association-organised boys' U-14 Div I match of the inter-school football tournament at Azad Maidan yesterday.

Tall striker Veer was too quick for the rival defenders. In the 14th minute, he chased Aman Nair's long aerial pass and on reaching the rival penalty area, he cleverly shot past St Joseph's goalkeeper Daksh Kankariya to put his school in the lead.
