His wonderful strike in the 26th minute after receiving a pass from Ashaari Shamsuddin increased The Turtles's lead after Effa Owona had put them ahead just after eight minutes.
Owona's goal was courtesy of a mistake by a PKNS defender who in his attempt to clear the danger created by a stiff shot by Terengganu winger Khairul Ramadhan, diverted the ball into the striker's path.
There was no movement for Elavarasan's boys but they are now just five points of the new league leader, Darul Takzim despite occupying the ninth spot on the MSL table.
Darul Takzim left it late at the Hassan Yunos Stadium when they trailed bottom team, Negeri Sembilan after thirty minutes when veteran Rashid Mahmud had put The Deers ahead when his shot went through a sea of legs before beating the Darul Takzim goalkeeper.
With seven minutes left on the clock, much to the delight of the home supporters, Kamarul Afiq Kamaruddin put Darul Takzim on level terms with the visitors with a powerful header from a corner kick.
Then as Negeri Sembilan were thinking of going home with a hard fought point Nurul Azwan Roya secured all three points for Fandi Ahmad's charges with a long range shot in the second minute of added time that gave Hamsani Ahmad no chance at all.
In an earlier match, Lions XII were held to a goalless draw by Felda United in Petaling Jaya. Despite the result, the visitors moved to third place on goal difference above Selangor and Pahang.
The Settlers meanwhile still remained winless at home this season.
