The visiting didn’t spare the hosts and kept attacking the goal by the minute. However, Amalorpavam did maintain a solid defense apart from one instance when they gave away a goal scored by the ace-forward D Balaji. The 1-0 score at the half-time read clearly of the tight defense that Amalorpavam school had put up all through the 1st half.

However, Petit Seminaire boys were merciless in their attacks and Amalorpavam was getting tired of repeated attacks. As a result they gave away 2 more goals, thereby ending the match tally to 3-0 in their favour. One thing that stood out was Amalorpavam’s defense. It was quite meticulous and their ability to relentlessly defend can take them really high.

Not to be forgotten was the vibrant and noisy audience’s presence that added real action to the whole proceedings.
