A priceless brace: Terengganu’s Ivan Mamut is congratulated by teammate Liridon Krasniqi after scoring a brace against Kuala Lumpur to send them into the Malaysia Cup final.

PETALING JAYA: Once vilified, now a hero, Croatian striker Ivan Mamut has turned out to be a blessing for Terengganu after he helped them get into the Malaysia Cup final.

The 26-year-old was in sensational form as he single-handedly led the Turtles to victory by scoring two goals in the 2-1 win over Kuala Lumpur at the Sultan Mizan Stadium in Gong Badak on Friday. And Terengganu made it to the final on a 4-2 aggregate. They had beaten the City Boys 2-1 in the first leg in Kuala Lumpur.
