Syamer’s screamer makes his high work rate loud and clear

PETALING JAYA: Defensive midfielder Syamer Kutty Abba’s screamer of a goal for Malaysia against the Philippines was just reward for his high work rate in the hosts’ come-from-behind 2-1 win in the Merdeka Tournament.

The Penang player’s superb equaliser from 20m in the 43rd minute proved the turning point for the Harimau Malaya, as they went on to seal the match via a penalty by Safawi Rasid in the 73rd.
