Rivaldo And His Son Scored For The Same Team In The Same Game

Rivaldo and his son, the appropriately-named Rivaldinho, both play for Brazilian second division club Mogi Mirim (Rivaldo is also the club's president). 

Given that Rivaldo is one of the best players of all-time (he's 43, but still), and Rivaldinho is the progeny of one of the greatest players of all-time, it's not surprising that they should both score in the same game. 

Not surprising, but still a beautiful moment. Rivaldinho struck first with a diving header partially set up by his pops that likely had spectators believing that the apple truly doesn't fall far from the tree.

The next goal was a penalty, taken by Rivaldo and won by Rivaldinho. Watching father and son celebrate their goals arm-in-arm would put butterflies in anybody's stomach.
