Japanese football legend Kazuyoshi Miura, better known as "King Kazu", has done it again. At the spry age of 59 years and 149 days, he scored his first competitive goal in nearly four years on Saturday, helping Fukushima United crush Iwaki Furukawa 7-0 in the Emperor's Cup.

Miura struck in the 52nd minute to put his team 5-0 ahead, capping a trademark run into the box by meeting a teammate's cutback with a first-time finish. The goal sparked celebrations on the pitch and bench before the veteran forward was substituted three minutes later, presumably to save his energy for his 42nd professional season.

It was Miura's first competitive goal since November 2022, when he scored for Suzuka PG (now Atletico Suzuka) in a Japan Football League defeat by FC Osaka. The former Japan international is preparing for a remarkable 42nd season as a professional after extending his loan spell with third-tier Fukushima United until June 2027.

Miura joined the club from Yokohama FC in December and will remain with Fukushima after making six appearances during a shortened 2026 campaign. With Japan's professional leagues set to switch from a spring-to-autumn schedule to an autumn-to-spring calendar, Miura will enter his 60s still playing professionally, adding another chapter to one of football's most enduring careers.
