PETALING JAYA: Remember this name – Fergus Tierney.

The 20-year-old Scottish-born Fergus entered only in the second half of the game against fancied Indonesia in the Asean Football Federation (AFF) Under-23 championships but ended up as the hero of the team when he buried both the goals in Malaysia’s sensational 2-1 comeback win at the Rayong Provincial Stadium in Thailand on Friday.
