Holders Terengganu Hockey Team (THT) opened their title defence of the Alagendra Cup with a 9-0 trashing of UiTM in their quarter-final match held at the National Hockey Stadium.
National player, Faizal Saari who led the team out today helped himself to five goals today with Argentine duo, Lopez Barreiros and Gonzalo Peilat shared three strikes between them. Another goal for THT was scored by Sufi Ismat.
It took only six minutes for Sarjit Singh’s men to break the deadlock with Barreiros sounding the board with a field goal before Sufi made it 2-0 a minute before the end of the first quarter.
Faizal then opened his account for the new season with another field goal in the 24th minute before making it 4-0 for THT in the third quarter.
Argentine Olympic gold medalist, Peilat then opened his goal account in Malaysia with his trade-mark penalty corner goal making it 5-0 for THT at the end of the quarter.
Faizal completed his hattrick with a strike from a penalty corner in the 49th minute before adding a couple more goals in a space of two minutes each before Peilat completed UiTM’s misery with another penalty corner goal in the last minute.
THT which received a bye in the round of sixteen will take on TNB Thunderbolts in the last four while Kuala Lumpur Hockey Club (KLHC) face Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL).
Both matches will be played at the National Hockey Stadium on Saturday.
