Malaysia's two-goal wonder Yahyah
Malaysia's Mohd Amri Yahyah will share the spotlight with Michael Owen after he scored two goals against Manchester United.
The match would have been written off by even the most die-hard Malaysian supporter, as they took on the English Champions.
Yahyah, however, proved them wrong.
By scoring the only two goals for his side, the midfielder gave Malaysia a respectable score-line of two goals to three.
The 28-year-old had gained cult status in his country in 2002, when he scored a golden goal for his club Selangor in the Malaysian Cup Final against Sabah.
Adept in many positions, the Malaysian international has played as a winger, midfielder, defender and striker.
In 2005, Yahya guided his club to the Malaysian treble - Malaysian Premier League, Malaysian FA Cup and Malaysia Cup.
He has scored 36 goals for his club since he joined the side in 2001.
After his heroics for Malaysia in the game against the reigning English champions, Yahyah's name will now be etched in football fans' minds outside Malaysia.
