Kazuyoshi Miura, also known as “King Kazu,” scores twice from the penalty spot to become the oldest goalscorer in the Emperor’s Cup at age 59. The goals help his team record a dominant win in the competition, with multiple sources describing the brace as coming from spot kicks.
The outlets agree that Miura is in his 42nd professional season, highlighting the longevity of his career. They also note that the achievement comes in Japan’s long-running national cup tournament, which features teams across divisions. Japan Times adds additional match context, saying Miura plays a key role as third-division side Fukushima United thrashes non-league Oyama Soccer Club 7-0. Across the reports, the focus is on the historical record of Miura’s age, while details such as the specific match scoreline are provided most explicitly by Japan Times.
