The players were reeling from the loss of their goalkeeper but it did not stop them from giving their best and did Suffian’s memory proud as they beat Negri Sembilan 3-1 in their Group A match.
Ivorian striker Kipre Tchetche scored a hattrick for the Turtles, while Negri’s Igor Luiz got a consolation goal in the 67th minute.“We were shocked to know of his passing, but before going into the match, I told the players to fight every minute for Suffian, ” said Nafuzi.“The players were always on their toes when he led the team.
“Suffian was our hero last year. He brought us to the final of the Malaysia Cup. His spirit was with us today.”Meanwhile, Nafuzi said he was happy to see the 31-year-old Tchetche coming alive in the Malaysia Cup after a drab season in the Super League.“That’s the Kipre I know. He has finally made his impact,” said Nafuzi.
“He is an important part of my game, and I hope he will bring us to the quarter-finals of the Malaysia Cup.” Terengganu are on track for the quarter-finals as they have won their first three group matches but Nafuzi cautioned his players to score at least another win to confirm their place.Terengganu topped the group with nine points, while Negri are rooted to the bottom with zero points.To read the full story and other premium content
