Recently, a TikTok video went viral, showcasing a delightful moment during the FA Cup Semi-Final between Terengganu and Selangor.
The video featured an orange tabby named Oyen, who was given a prime spot to watch the game. Lifted by his owners, Oyen had the best seat in the house, right among the cheering fans.
As Oyen "sang" along with the crowd, the excitement was palpable. The match ended with a thrilling 3-2 victory for Terengganu, and the video of Oyen quickly captured the hearts of viewers.
Fans reacted with a mix of humour and affection. One comment read, “Make sure he is brought along when we travel to Selangor,” while another user suggested, “They should have played the Simba song.” Someone else remarked, “I can’t believe Oyen supports Terengganu.”
In the end, Oyen’s antics and the enthusiasm of the fans created a moment that not only celebrated football but also brought a smile to everyone’s face.
As one commenter put it perfectly, “Oyen might be the team’s secret mascot now. Here’s to more purr-fect moments at the next match!”
