IF YOU AREGOING: THAT STADIUM, THAT INCREDIBLEGOAL @
While at Lorong Kulit, in the shadow of Penang City Stadium, pause for a moment to imagine a glorious moment in Penang football history. It was in this stadium in 2016 that while representing Penang FA in a Malaysia Super League match against Pahang FA (Penang won 4-1), Mohd Faiz Subri scored an amazing “banana” free-kick goal that won him the
2016 FIFA Puskás Award. The award is given to a player from anywhere in the world who scores what is judged “the most beautiful” goal of the year. Faiz’s goal won 60% of the millions of votes cast by football fans on FIFA’s website, beating other nominees such as Lionel Messi and Neymar. See it to believe it on YouTube.
