CENI LEADS FORTALEZA TO SERIE B TITLE

Legendary Brazilian goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni, who played at Sao Paulo for the entirety of his career but gained worldwide renown for his goalscoring abilities, has led second-tier club Fortaleza to their first-ever title in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie B. Ceni, who is recognised as the goalkeeper to have scored the most goals in the history of the game, scored an astonishing 131 goals while playing between the sticks, mostly from penalties and free-kicks. He took over Fortaleza, who completed their centenary this year, at the start of the season and brought the club its first second division title with a 1-0 win against fourth-placed Avai in the season's third-last match. The now 45-year-old Ceni oversaw a great campaign, getting 20 wins and eight draws from the 36 games so far to clinch the title. Centro Sportivo Alagoano are currently second with 59 points.
