PETALING JAYA: Winger Engku Nur Shakir Engku Yacob has endured limited game time this season, patiently waiting for a breakthrough in his career with Terengganu.

That moment finally arrived on Friday, when the 27-year-old made a compelling case for more minutes by scoring a ‘perfect’ hattrick in Terengganu’s emphatic 5-0 win over University Malaya (UM)-Damansara in the second leg of their Malaysia Cup last 16 game at Sultan Mizan Stadium in Gong Badak.
