Former Japanese international Kazuyoshi Miura broke his own record as the J. League's oldest scorer with a header for Yokohama FC in a 3-2 defeat to Jubilo Iwata in the second division on Sunday.

Miura scored at the age of 48 years, one month and 10 days for his first goal since Nov. 3, 2013. He nodded in a cross from the right in the 14th minute before departing after 67 minutes.

"I managed to get a good jump on the ball," the one-time national team superstar said. "It was a good header."

Zico holds the record in the top flight at 41 years, three months, 12 days, which he set in 1994 with Kashima Antlers.
