With around 10 minutes remaining on the clock in the matchday 14 Super League encounter between Petaling Jaya City (PJ) and Kuala Lumpur on Friday, Phoenix head coach Devan Kuppusamy brought on former Malaysia striker Safee Sali for a midfielder.
The gamble paid off just as the match, tied at 0-0 at the time, rolled into stoppage time. A wayward clearance by City Boys defender Hisyamudin Sha'ari looped towards his team's penalty box instead, and Safee managed to squeeze between onrushing defender Ryutaro Karube and goalkeeper Faridzuean Kamaruddin, before lobbing the ball over the custodian and into the goal for a late yet timely winner.
