Striker Sergius Barretto's goal helped Dominic Savio (Andheri) sneak past Billbong International (Malad) by a narrow 1-0 margin in a first round match of the Mumbai Schools Sports Association-organised boys' U-14 Div II Utpal Sanghvi inter-school knockout football tournament at Azad Maidan yesterday.

Dominic Savio, who were better organised, did the bulk of the attacking, but they failed to convert their chances. On the other hand, Billbong managed to make a few threatening runs towards the rival goal, but they found it difficult to break down Dominic Savio defence.
