Dashing striker Azim Hakeem played a significant role, scoring the all-important winning goal as Bombay Scottish (Mahim) beat a spirited Jamnabai Narsee (Juhu) 1-0 in the boys U-12 Div-I semi-finals of the MSSA inter-school football tournament at Azad Maidan on Friday.

After a barren first half, the Mahim boys finally found the back of the Jamnabai net towards the end of the match. Following a throw-in from the right, skipper Azim received a return pass from teammate Rihan Bagul and unleashed a swerving shot that beat the rival goalkeeper and sunk into the back of the net.
