Brazil's Ceni becomes most deadly goalkeeper in football history

Rogerio Ceni of Brazil scored twice on Sunday night to become the biggest-scoring goalkeeper in football history with now 64 goals.

Ceni, 33, first scored with a free kick and then on a penalty in a 2-2 draw of his club Sao Paulo at Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte.

Citing the ruling body FIFA, news reports said that Ceni's double gives him 64 goals overall, two more than Paraguay goalkeeper Jose Luis Chilavert (62) scored in his career.

'The record makes me very happy. But I am happy for every goal my team scores,' said Ceni.

The 16-times capped Ceni has been at the Sao Paulo club since 1990. He was voted Brazil's best goalkeeper three times by the Placar football paper and was Brazil reserve keeper at the 2002 and 2006 World Cup.
