El Fenómeno’s Double

scored a double for Corinthians in yesterday’s 3-1 victory over Santos - the first leg of the Paulista Championship finals.

Ronaldo opened the scoring from the edge of the Santos area after latching on to a long-kick from Chicao, taking his tally to eight goals in 10 games. “To be king for a day at the home of the king is excellent,” he said after the game.

Of course, “the other king” in this instance was Pele, who was present and visibly frustrated by the outcome of the match. Well, at least he didn’t talk about what he would’ve done if he were in front of goal. “The ball landed at the feet of a player who doesn’t miss,” Pele said. “Ronaldo makes the difference. The second goal was worthy of the World Cup.”

Ronaldo's Brace !!!!
