PETALING JAYA: When Chrigor Moraes slid in to stab home Selangor’s dramatic equaliser on Sunday night, it was more than just a goal – it was a moment charged with emotion, sacrifice and love.

The striker had only days earlier watched the birth of his daughter, Cecilia, from thousands of miles away, forced to witness the life-changing moment through a phone screen as his wife, Maria Eduardo, gave birth in Brazil.
