Brazilian footballer Rogerio Ceni scored 131 goals throughout his career.
Yes, the achievement is serious. But there are many players who can boast of more serious results.
There is one caveat, though. The fact is that Rogerio Ceni is a goalkeeper.
How did the goalkeeper manage to score so many goals?
The answer is simple: Ceni was a free kick and penalty taker for the Sao Paulo club, whose goal the footballer defended from 1992 to 2015.
The goalkeeper scored his first goal at professional level from a free kick in 1997 in a Paulista League match against Union São João.
Ceni scored his 131st goal in the summer of 2015 in a match played as part of the Brazilian Cup. Then, São Paulo defeated Ceará. The goalkeeper converted a penalty.
Other achievements of Rogerio Ceni
Seni is the record holder among goalkeepers for the number of goals scored. But this is far from the athlete's only achievement.
Thus, in 2002, the goalkeeper became the World Cup champion as part of the Brazilian national team. However, at that time, Seni was a reserve goalkeeper.
In addition, Ceni is a three-time Brazilian champion and a two-time winner of South America's premier club competition.
