Another record was set in the world of football after a 50-year old man, Kazuyoshi Miura scores in a professional match, making him the oldest to set such a feat.
Miura says his new world record for oldest goalscorer in a professional soccer game will be short-lived.
The 50-year-old striker, known as “King Kazu,” received a plaque from Guinness World Records at a ceremony in Tokyo on Feb. 15.
“It’s my great honor, but I think this record will be shattered soon.”
