Talented striker Aaron Corderio scored two brilliant goals in as many minutes as former champions St Mary’s ICSE (Mazgaon) recorded a fighting 2-1 win over Jamnabai Narsee ‘A’ (Juhu) in a boys’ U-16 Division-I quarter-final of the MSSA inter-school football tournament at the St Francis D’Assisi HS ground, Borivli, on Tuesday.
The Juhu lads began in rousing fashion and gained the ascendancy with an early goal. Jamnabai’s Stavya Monish Bhasin rocked the St Mary’s citadel, scoring the opening goal of the match in the sixth minute. St Mary’s however, played with solid determination and staged a strong comeback with Aaron showing his class. Aaron’s first goal, in the 10th minute of the second half, was the result of a fierce long shot. In the very next minute, he then beat the off-side trap, raced towards the Jamnabai goal and lobbed the ball into the net to make it 2-1.
