The other teams to make it to the quarter-finals are Neem Football Club and Super 30 who also registered victories over their respective rivals.

Stanley, a BpEd student of Nasikrao Tirpude College final year, scored another in the 17th minute to make it 3-0. Christ FC tried hard to find some solace but were unable to find the back of the net.

 

In another match, Super 30 got the better of Young Haider 2-0 to move into last eight.

 

After fighting hard for first 10 minutes, Super 30 surged ahead with a goal from Muzzamil Khan in the 11th minute.
