Penang’s Mohd Faiz Subri's goal from a free-kick against Pahang in the Super League at the City Stadium on Tuesday was reminiscent of that scored by Brazilian Roberto Carlos in 1998 against France.

The kick from about 30m looked to be heading towards the top left corner of the goalmouth. The ball then swerved dramatically and ended up in the top right corner of the net.
