The Dream Sports MSSA Interschool Football Tournament continued on Thursday with exciting fixtures across the Girls U-12 Division II at MSSA Ground and Boys U-16 Division IV at Wings Sports Centre.

J.B.C.N International (Oshiwara) dominated Podar International (Powai) with a clinical 3-0 win, led by a superb hat-trick from Adhyanth Kavinattamai, marking him as one of the standout players of the tournament so far.
