Malaysian Soccer Player Scores Outrageous Bending Goal Off Free Kick

Some have said that the goal is already a potential victor of the Fifa Puskas Award 2016, given to the best goal scored during the year.

Not only did Subri’s goal help Penang beat Pahang 4-1.

“I can do it again”, Faiz told The Star. “It was not a fluke”.

Mohd Faiz scored in the 62nd minute, capturing world imagination with the player trending on Twitter.

The 28-year-old’s setpiece didn’t just astound everyone watching, it also stumped physics, that is how insane the bend on the ball was.

Penang football player Mohd Faiz Subri has “curl-kicked” his way to global fame. I am stunned by all the attention after scoring this goal. “I am not the only one in the team who can take free kicks, there are many talented ones…maybe the others will become like me”, he said. “But I don’t score from every attempt… sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t”.

We definitely expect this goal by Subri to feature on FIFA’s list of goals nominated for the Puskas Award, and also think it will be one of the favourites for the award. Last season he was his team’s top scorer with 13 goals. “My phone has been ringing non-stop since this morning”.

“I am happy that I have made Malaysia proud and it is a big honour to be mentioned with the likes of legend Roberto Carlos”, he added.

Penang and Faiz’s next match is in George Town against Kuantan FA in the Malaysia FA Cup second round on Saturday.
