Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], August 22 (ANI): Army Boys Sports Company, Bengaluru entered the quarterfinals of the 63rd Subroto Cup Sub Junior Boys International Football Tournament dramatically. A toss of the coin was needed as both NNMHSS Chelembra, Kerala and Army Boys could not be separated in Group A either on points or on goal difference. Both teams finished their group stage campaign with seven points and a goal difference of plus six, which led to the need of a coin toss.

Army Sports Company won their final group stage game 3-1 against 01 Goa Battalion, NCC in their final group stage game but had to wait for the match between the Kerala school and Maharana Pratap Sports College, Dehradun to decide their fate. NNMHSS needed to win by three goals to book their place in the quarterfinals and were on route to the knockouts as they led 3-0 until the final minutes. Maharana Pratap Sports College stunned the Kerala side, by scoring with the final kick of the game, deep into injury time which led to the need of a coin toss that ultimately favoured Army Boys Sports Company.
