$5/hr Starting at $25

  • On November 19, 1969, while the world's focus was on the Apollo 12 mission to land man on the moon, Brazilians experienced an unprecedented historical moment, when football legend Pele succeeded in scoring his .thousandth goal
  • For Brazil and its football king, it was the perfect moment for a similar event, as it was celebrating the day of the flag that was designed and adopted in 1889, while Pele was celebrating his mother's birthday.
  • The goal is a gift given by the Santos superstar to the proud home fans of the best player and top scorer in the world. As for the mother, Maria Celeste Arantes, she watched her talented 29-year-old son enter football history.
  • Fate played its part. Three days ago, Pele failed to reach this symbolic barrier in Salvador. A penalty kick, taken by the number 10 player in Santos, hit the Bahia crossbar, then was snatched away by his teammate Jair Bala, to score the expected goal.
  • Fortunately for Pele, the Maracana stadium was the scene of Santos' confrontation with its host Vasco de Gama, a year before Pele won the World Cup for the third time with his country in an unprecedented achievement.
  • - Overjoyed -
  • Black and white cameras documented a historic moment in front of eighty thousand enthusiastic spectators, despite the rain that did not prevent them from preparing for a solemn celebration.
  • It didn't take long for the King to threaten his opponent's net in the first half. But the Argentine goalkeeper Edgardo Andrada, who was accused years later of carrying out assassinations on behalf of the military rule in his country (1976-1983), first removed a ball played by "O Rei" with the outer part of his shoe. Then the crossbar intervened to deny him the registration.
