Claudio Pizarro could hardly have picked a finer way to score a record-tying goal. The Peruvian striker was technically brilliant, sly and cool as a low cross came in from Clemens Fritz, and with his back to the goal, "Pizza" played the ball with his heel past a dumbfounded Hamburg keeper Frank Rost!

 

Giovane Elber as the highest scoring foreigner in the history of the Bundesliga. "The ball was played behind me and I really couldn’t take it any other way," grinned Pizarro after the game. "I hope that I stay up top for a long time. This record is very important to me!"

 

"It’s nice that Claudio has this mark. He is an excellent footballer," said Giovane Elber, who played with Pizarro for a time at Bayern Munich. Bremen head coach Thomas Schaaf was somewhat more subdued about the goal, saying: "Congratulations. But Claudio will certainly score many more goals."
