Yishun Stadium played host to a special footballing moment when Syafiq Sazali took a penalty in a Singapore FA Cup match on Sunday (Oct 9).
The Yishun Sentek Mariners man scored the fifth goal against Kaki Bukit Sports Club with a rasping shot into the top corner - while executing an acrobatic mid-air somersault at the same time.
While Yishun, who play in the National Football League (NFL), went on to complete an 8-0 thrashing of their Island Wide League opponents, Syafiq's outrageous goal became the main talking point when his coach Yakob Hashim uploaded footage of the strike on social media.
