MUNICH, June 14 (Xinhua) -- One goal against Tunisia on Wedneday made Saudi
Arabian striker Sami Al Jaber join an elite group of players that include Pele
and Diego Maradona.
His goal in his team's 2-2 draw with Tunisia came 12 years after his first goal
in the World Cup finals against Morocco in 1994 and he has now joined Pele, Uwe
Seeler, Diego Maradona and Michael Laudrup as the only players who have scored
World Cup goal 12 years after their maiden goal.
Henrik Larsson of Sweden can also join this elite list if he scores for
Sweden against Paraguay on Thursday.
Pele's goals spanned the years 1958-70, Seeler's 1958-70, Maradona's
1982-94 and Laudrup's 1986-98. Enditem
