Sao Paulo 'keeper Rogerio Ceni enters list of club's top 10 all-time scorers

Few 'keepers have the prolific scoring record that Sao Paulo FC's Rogerio Ceni holds.

Hell, most 'keepers don't even find the back of the net once in their career.

Over the years, Ceni, now 42 years young, has blasted shots past opposing 'keepers, scoring at a higher rate than some of the Brasileirao's top strikers. Of course, his goals always stem from free kicks or from the penalty spot. This isn't a case of Ceni dribbling through team after team in Maradona-esque fashion.

However, that shouldn't take away from what Ceni achieved Wednesday, as he scored his 128th goal for Sao Paulo in his side's 3-2 win versus Santos FC, inscribing his name in the club's list of top 10 all-time scorers.

It should come as no surprise Ceni accomplished the feat from the penalty spot, casually booming his shot straight down the middle.
