Kumar saves Tenaga


Under siege: Tenaga’s Norsyafiq Sumantri (centre) is surrounded by Terengganu players at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil yesterday. — By S.S. KANESAN/The Star

KUALA LUMPUR: With the focus being placed more on the strikers and drag flickers, not many realise the efforts made by the man manning the goalposts.

The likes of Syed Syafiq Syed Mohd Cholan (28th minute), Mohd Shahril Saabah (38th), Mohd Azrai Aizad Abu Kamal (49th) and Mohd Akhimullah Annuar Esook (52nd) would be earning the plaudits for helping Tenaga beat last season’s overall champions Terengganu 4-2 at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil yesterday.
