Stop penalty corner ace Jong-hyun if you can in TNB Cup final.

KUALA LUMPUR: Stop me if you can!

Terengganu penalty corner specialist Jang Jong-hyun has challenged defending champions Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) to stop him from scoring goals in the TNB Cup (overall) final at the Tun Razak Hockey Stadium today.

The top form South Korean defender is the leading scorer in the Malaysia Hockey League (MHL) with 21 goals.

Jong-hyun single-handedly converted five penalty corners to steer the East Coast team with a convincing 5-2 win over Tenaga Nasional in the semi-finals, return-leg match on Thursday.

In the semi-finals, first-leg match on Tuesday, the South Korean netted one to help Terengganu win 3-1.

Terengganu qualified for the final with an impressive aggregate of 8-3.

Jong-hyun, who will turn 35 on March 28, was delighted with his goal-scoring spree.

“I want to score two or three more goals in the final to help Terengganu win the Cup. I challenge the UniKL defence to stop me from scoring the goals,” said Jong-hyun.

The South Korean is set to win the top-scorer award for the third time in MHL as his nearest challengers are UniKL’s penalty corner ace and defender Muhd Razie Abdul Rahim (14 goals), Maybank captain and former international forward Hafifihafiz (13).

Jong-hyun made his debut in the MHL with Terengganu in 2014 and won his first award in 2016 with 16 goals and won his second in 2017 with 28 goals.

Last year, he featured for KL Hockey Club and netted 12 goals to finish as the joint second highest scorer with Jeroen Hertzberger of UniKL in the league.
