St Stanislaus (Bandra) combined well to beat Colaba Municipal School 3-0 in a quarter-final encounter of the Mumbai Schools Sports Association-organised Utpal Sanghvi Boys' U-14 knockout inter-schools football tournament, at Azad Maidan yesterday.

The Bandra boys were lucky to snatch the early lead when striker Nilesh Ekka cashed in on a misunderstanding between the Colaba school's defender Ganesh Sirgiri and goalkeeper Bhimraj Jadhav while clearing the ball. Nilesh was alert to swoop in on the opportunity and slotted the ball into an empty net in the very second minute.
