MOHAMMAD Saufi Ibrahim was the saviour of Sungai Ara FC when he scored a last-minute goal in the hard-earned 2-1 victory over Ipoh Football Association (Ipoh FA) in Group A of the FAM Cup.

It seemed the Penang club side were heading for a third consecutive match without victory before Saufi popped up at the far post to head in Syamim Alif Rosli’s lofted cross in the 89th minute at the City Stadium on Sunday.
