Are you watching, Roberto Carlos?

The pint-sized Brazilian magician became a legend when he scored one of football's all-time great free kicks in a friendly against France in 1997 and now, 19 years later, we've found the heir to his throne... in the Malaysian Super League.

Penang FA's Faiz Subri produced a moment of magic in their 4-1 defeat of Pahang, swirling home a blistering free kick with the outside of his boot from all of 35-yards. We don't know how you generate that much swerve on a dead ball.

Call off the search, we've found our first contender for next season's FIFA Puskas award.
