Has 'The Rabbit' scored the oldest keeper goal ever?

Keeper goals are always an exciting event.

Glovemen only push themselves up the field when the game is on edge, so the drama is natural in the sense that the game is close.

But this one from the Mexican league is something special.

The Pachuca goalkeeper, Oscar Perez, is a 44-year-old marvel.

Nicknamed 'conejo' for 'the Rabbit', he's played basically every minute of every game over the past eight years.

And this headed goal came against his parent club, Cruz Azul.

Perez played over 400 games for Cruz Azul after his debut in 1993 but he has been on loan at numerous clubs since 2008.

His goal rescued a 2-2 draw for Pachuca, keeping them a few spots above Cruz Azul in the middle of the Liga MX table.
