São Paulo FC first goalkeeper goal edit

The competition regulations provided for a curiosity: in case of a penalty foul signaled by the referee, the penalty taker should necessarily be the goalkeeper of the benefited team.[3] This fact occurred in the match between Uberlândia and São Paulo, when the goalkeeper Moscatto scored the goal of the São Paulo's victory. The event took place about a year and a half before Rogério Ceni scored his first goal.[4][5]
