Brazilian soccer legend Pelé has passed away at age 82 due to complications from colon cancer.
Pelé began playing for Santos at age 15 and the Brazil national team at 16. During his international career, he won three FIFA World Cups: 1958, 1962 and 1970, the only player to do so. With 77 goals in 92 official appearances, Pelé is the joint-top scorer of the Brazil national soccer team alongside Neymar. He became a global soccer ambassador after retiring in 1977.
Santos fc, Pelé's club, might be relegated and therefore they really needed go win yesterday's game, it was 1-1 against grêmio (blue and stripes), the ball goes offside.... except this happens:
The ball straight up changes trajectory and does not leave the pitch and Santos manages to score their second goal, winning the game
So you know what everyone concluded, right?
One more assist to Pelé, the goat making that jogo bonito even after death. Truly the Pelé of football.
