A picture made availble on 17 February 2016 shows shows Penang FA player Mohd Faiz Subri (C) being celebrated by teammates during their Super League match against the Pahang at City Stadium, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia, 16 February 2016. During the match Faiz Subri's free kick flew in a unique detour before beating Pahang's goalkeeper in their Malaysia Super League match. Penang FA defeated Pahang 4-1. EPA

Penang’s Mohd Faiz Subri's goal from a free-kick against Pahang in the Super League at the City Stadium on Tuesday was reminiscent of that scored by Brazilian Roberto Carlos in 1998 against France.

The kick from about 30m looked to be heading towards the top left corner of the goalmouth. The ball then swerved dramatically and ended up in the top right corner of the net.
