Penang Goalkeeper Mirrors Syamsuri's Goal: A Moment of Magic!

It’s not often you see a goalkeeper scoring a goal, let alone one that mirrors a famous striker's iconic goal! But that's exactly what happened in the recent Malaysia Cup match between Penang and Kuala Lumpur. Penang's custodian, Samuel Somerville, pulled off a feat that sent the stadium into a frenzy.

Remember that stunning volley by Syamsuri against Terengganu in the 2022 Malaysia Cup? The one that left everyone speechless? Well, Somerville decided to channel his inner Syamsuri, mimicking the exact same goal from a similar distance and angle!

It all happened in the 80th minute of the match. Kuala Lumpur had taken the lead and Penang were desperately searching for an equaliser. That's when the magic unfolded. A long ball was sent into the KL box, cleared by a defender, and landed right at Somerville's feet. Seeing his chance, the keeper took a touch and unleashed a thunderous volley that flew past the helpless KL goalkeeper. The crowd erupted, the Penang players went wild, and Somerville became an instant hero.

What makes this even more special is that Somerville is not known for his goal-scoring abilities. He's primarily a goalkeeper, you know? But on this day, he showed that he can be a real threat in the opposition box. This moment of brilliance will surely go down in history as one of the most memorable goals in Penang's recent history.

For the record, Penang went on to win the match 2-1, thanks to Somerville's incredible goal. But it's not just the win that's making headlines. It's the magic of that goal, the mirroring of Syamsuri's legendary strike, and the sheer audacity of a goalkeeper scoring a goal that will be remembered for years to come!
