Terengganu's Malaysian goalkeeper, Mohammad Sufyan Abdul Rahman, died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 41, leaving a sorrow in his team, according to the press.

The Malaysian international has left life just hours before its Terengganu team in the Malaysian Cup this year, against its Nigerian counterpart Sembilan on Saturday. The late goalkeeper won the match 3-1 and the players offered a victory to teammate Sufian.

The late goalkeeper made 13 appearances for Terengganu in the Malaysian Premier League last season.

He made his debut in Malaysia for the first time in a friendly against Cambodia in 2007 after replacing goalkeeper Azizon Abdul Qadir. Sufyan was in the team for the finals of the 2007 Asian Cup.

Sufyan was a key participant in the 2018 Malaysian Cup when the team qualified for the final, tying 4-1 against Perak on penalties, after a 3-3 draw in the regulatory time.
