Brazil midfielder Casemiro on Monday became the second-oldest player in his country’s FIFA World Cup history to score a goal.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star achieved this feat after scoring in the 56th minute against Japan in the World Cup Round of 32 encounter as Brazil won 2-1.
The outcome of the match means Brazil is now through to the World Cup Round of 16.
However, Casemiro (34 years and 126 days old) is now the second-oldest goalscorer in Brazilian FIFA World Cup history, behind only Bebeto.
Recall that Bebeto scored against Denmark on July 3, 1998, at 34 years and 137 days old.
