In the shootout, Mandar Vasaikar, Kevin Shah, Viren Mudaliar, Manish Soundalkar and Johnson Mathews were on target for the Borivli outfit, while Bhavya Jain, Jay, Aryan, Aryan Yugpurush scored for Bombay Scottish.
This season, D&rsquo;Assisi finished third in the boys U-16 MSSA Division-I league, while they were placed fourth last year. "Our boys consistently played well, but somehow a final eluded us, so it&rsquo;s great to make a final after five years,&rdquo; said D&rsquo;Assisi coach Thomas Barreto.
