Brazil's Kaka two goals away from history

NULL

Kaka has moved a step closer to becoming Brazil's all-time leading goal scorer in World Cup qualifying matches. The Orlando City midfielder, who currently has 10 goals, needs just two more to surpass joint record holders Romario and Zico. Kaka has been included in Brazil’s squad for upcoming qualifiers, due to the injury sustained by Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho. The Selecao take on Copa America champions Chile in their first outing tomorrow.
