Riding on skipper Ayaansh Mathur’s brace, Utpal Sanghvi (Juhu) beat Podar International School (Powai) 3-0 to clinch the boys U-14 Division-III title in the Dream Sports-Mumbai School Sports Association (MSSA) inter-school football tournament at the Goan Sports Association ground recently.

Utpal Sanghvi took control early with an aggressive approach. Their intent paid dividends in the 10th minute when Ayaansh scored. Capitalising on a defensive lapse, Ayaansh calmly slotted the ball into an open net. The early goal unsettled Podar. Two minutes later, Utpal Sanghvi doubled their lead through Kabbir Asawa. Podar faltered again while trying to dribble out from the back, and Kabbir placed it neatly into the bottom left corner to put Utpal 2-0 up at half-time.
