Govt Chawfianga Middle School, Mizoram edged out NCC (NER) by an injury-time goal to enter the final of the U-14 category of the 54th Subroto Cup here today.
It was a battle of equals for the most part but it was heartbreak for NCC right at the end as Ramfangliana (70+2) popped up seconds before the final whistle to punch in a cross.
The winners will face-off with Betkuchi High School, Assam in the clash for the title.
In the U-17 boys' event, Govt Model School, Chandigarh, thrashed Goa 10-0. Gurkirat and Anil scored a brace each for Chandigarh.
Indian School, Oman were handed a 2-0 defeat by St Stanlisus of Bihar. The Oman team, which comprised entirely of sons of Indian immigrants, had a hard time in their opening match. The boys from Bihar were much fitter and despite enjoying a substantial height advantage, Oman were on the backfoot for the most part.
Among the girls, Ratanbala Devi scored four goals as RMSV Vidyalaya, Manipur, swamped Ahlcon Public School, Delhi 7-0. Sunita Devi, Hemolata Devi and Ranajans Chanu also found the net for Manipur.
