Roberto Carlos scores with a clever corner kick

Between Cani's spectacular effort from the midway line and Zlatan Ibrahimovic's magic against Lecce, it was a great weekend for special goals. Roberto Carlos, however, would like to remind you that he is not to be outdone.

The 37-year-old Corinthians left back and Brazil legend showed he still has a bit of dead-ball sorcery left in him with his corner kick against Portuguesa on Sunday, firing a quick shot directly at the far post. Naturally, it caught the goalkeeper off his guard and found the target.

It was an excellent bit of skill and quick thinking from Roberto Carlos, but his teammate who jumped over the shot, letting it pass through his legs, deserves some credit, too. 

Anyway, Roberto Carlos is forever.
