Goalkeeper Atharva Gaonkar made two fine saves as defending champions Don Bosco (Matunga) overcame a dogged St Peter’s (Mazgaon) 5-4 via sudden death in a boys’ U-17 pre-quarter-final of the District Sports Organisation (DSO) Mumbai City inter-school football tournament at the Mumbai Police ground, Naigaon, on Friday. Don Bosco dominated, but failed to score. Sudden death came into play after the tie-breaker ended 4-4.

Atharva, who was not troubled throughout the match, made two crucial saves in the shootout and then converted the decisive kick in sudden death much to the relief of his teammates and coach Leslie Machado.
