Rivaldo, Rivaldo Jr., both score in 3-1 win for Mogi Mirim

SAO PAULO -- Former Brazil star Rivaldo and his son both scored in the same match in the Brazilian league's second division on Tuesday.

The 43-year-old Rivaldo scored once and his 20-year-old son, Rivaldo Jr., netted twice in Mogi Mirim's 3-1 win over Macae.

Estou muito feliz por este momento tão especial na minha vida, poder jogar um jogo oficial com o meu filho ( @_rivaldojr ) nós dois fazermos gols e entrar para história do futebol. Deus é fiel 4 Ainda que eu andasse pelo vale da sombra da morte, não temeria mal algum, porque tu estás comigo; a tua vara e o teu cajado me consolam. 5 Preparas uma mesa perante mim na presença dos meus inimigos, unges a minha cabeça com óleo, o meu cálice transborda. Salmos 23:4,5

Rivaldo, who is also the president of Mogi Mirim, ended his retirement last month to try to help his team overcome a difficult start in this year's championship. Mogi Mirim was last in the 20-team standings until Tuesday's victory allowed it to leave the bottom of the ladder.

Mogi Mirim hasn't lost in the two matches since Rivaldo's return.

The former Barcelona playmaker said he was grateful and ``happy to be able to score a goal and see his son score twice'' in the same match.
