MUMBAI, Aug 13: A Goal each by Hilal Khan and Amit Sharma helped St Michael’s (Mahim) beat Holy Family 2-1 in the first semifinal of the under-16 Division II Inter-Schools football tournament, sponsored by Colgate Palmolive at the MSSA-Castrol Azad Maidan ground, today.

After surviving some tense moments, the Mahim team began to play to a plan. They scored against the run of play when Amit bulged the net off a Hilal free-kick.

The duo combined again after seven minutes to add a second when Hilal tapped the ball into an open net from a free-kick taken by Amit. Shishir Ahuja reduced the margin for Holy Family in the dying minutes.
