Pele's 1,000th goal ball auctioned

SAO PAULO MARCH 31. The ball used by Pele to score his 1,000th goal was auctioned for $22,400, local media said on Wednesday.

The ball was auctioned on Tuesday in Sao Paulo by the Brazilian Association of Parents of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities, which received the ball as a donation from Pele in 1972.

It was bought by Roberto Justus, an entrepreneur who stars in a Brazilian reality television show, the Agencia Estado news service reported.

Pele, who scored 1,281 goals in his career, netted the 1,000th goal with a 77th-minute penalty kick in Santos' 2-1 win against Vasco on November 19, 1969 at Maracana stadium. — AP
