PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta’zim’s Nathaniel Shio Hong Wan is a defensive midfielder but he was at his attacking best in the FA Cup final – and aptly won the man-of-the-match award.

The 22-year-old stepped up for the Southern Tigers by scoring a superb goal in the team’s 2-0 win against Kuala Lumpur at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Iskandar Puteri on Saturday.
