Football World Record Set with Longest Goal Ever Scored

Football is one of the most popular sports in the world, and it has seen some incredible feats over the years. One of the most impressive records is the longest goal ever scored in a professional match, which was set in 2013 by Brazilian footballer Roberto Carlos.

The goal was scored in a match between his team, Anzhi Makhachkala, and Krylia Sovetov Samara. Carlos was positioned just outside the penalty area when he received a pass from teammate Oleg Shatov. He then unleashed an incredible shot that flew into the top corner of the net, from a distance of more than 70 meters (229 feet).

The goal was so impressive that it quickly went viral, with many people sharing it on social media and praising Carlos for his incredible feat. It was also recognized by FIFA, who awarded Carlos with the Puskas Award for the best goal of the year.

The goal was made even more impressive by the fact that Carlos was 38 years old at the time, making him one of the oldest players to ever score such a goal. It is a testament to his skill and dedication that he was able to pull off such an incredible feat at such an advanced age.

The record for the longest goal ever scored in a professional match still stands today, and it is unlikely that it will be broken anytime soon. It is a remarkable achievement that will forever be remembered as one of the greatest goals in football history.
