Brazilian club Fluminense says goalkeeper Fabio has broken the world record for most competitive soccer matches played with his 1,391st appearance, surpassing the mark set by former England goalkeeper Peter Shilton in the 1990s.

Fluminense goalkeeper Fábio has surpassed Peter Shilton as the footballer with the most all-time career appearances, according to his club. The Brazilian, 44, played his 1,391st game in the Copa Sudamericana victory over América de Cali at the Maracaná on Tuesday -- a tally which took him past the number of appearances the Guinness Book of Records cites former England goalkeeper Shilton as having made during his career.
