Ali opened the scoring for the Fort outfit in the 12th minute with a brilliant solo effort. He then extended their lead six minutes later to make it 2-0 just before the interval. In the 25th minute, he came back to complete his hat-trick.
After the game, Ali thanked his coach Deepak Narwade who trained him as a striker this season. &ldquo;Till last year, I was a defender for my school team. It&rsquo;s only this season that Deepak sir trained me and I started playing as a striker.
Initially, I took time to adjust, but now I enjoy my role. I am happy that I scored all three goals in an important match like this. I hope we win the final too,&rdquo; said the nine-year-old who has scored seven goals in the tournament so far.
Narwade said their semi-final clash against defending champs St Mary&rsquo;s SSC (Mazagaon) will be crucial. He said: &ldquo;Winning today&rsquo;s match was important. But the real test for the team will be when we play St Mary&rsquo;s. Our school&rsquo;s &lsquo;B&rsquo; team won the title in 2010 and I hope this team is able to repeat that feat.&rdquo;
