Dabreo proved to be the match-winner, scoring two goals in quick succession. His first came in the 86th minute, capitalizing on a well-placed cross from Siddharth Nayak. Dabreo’s header looped over the keeper and into the net to put the mighty lions in the lead. Few minutes later in stoppage time, Dabreo struck again, tapping in a rebound after a chaotic goalmouth scramble following Keegan’s freekick.

MYJ-GMSC then added a third, showcasing a brilliant team goal. Shannon’s pass to Tanmay, followed by Tanmay’s one-touch assist to Siddharth, set up Kamran, who danced past defenders before clinically finishing. The 3-0 victory propelled MYJ-GMSC to fourth place, also with 11 points, just one point behind the leaders.
