PETALING JAYA: Indonesian centreback Ryuji Utomo has stood tall for Penang despite his team’s mixed outing in Super League.

Penang have conceded three goals in three games – 1-0 win against Kuala Lumpur, 0-2 loss to Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) and 1-1 draw against Kedah but the performance of Ryuji has made heads turn.
