Kasuo Sets New Record
Kazuyoshi Miura, a player for the Japanese team Fukushima United, became the oldest goal scorer in the history of the Emperor's Cup, at the age of 59 years, five months, and 24 days. He achieved this by scoring two penalty kicks in a match his team won 7-0 against Oyamashaka FC. This broke the previous record held by Shinji Ono, who scored in the tournament at the age of 41. Known as "King Kazuo," Miura scored his first goal in nearly four years and is now in his 42nd professional season. He explained that practicing penalty kicks helped him achieve this milestone. He began his professional career in Brazil in 1986 and has played in Italy, Croatia, Australia, and Portugal. He has scored 55 goals in 89 international matches with the Japanese national team.
