And he was visibly emotional after netting the landmark strike as he teared up on the pitch.
It comes after he revealed last week he is aiming to reach 1000 goals before retiring.
Speaking on his new YouTube channel: “Soon I will do 900 and, after, I will beat 1,000.
“I want to reach 1,000 goals. If I don’t have injuries, this, for me, is the most important. I want that.
“It’s the best marker I can have in football. There will be one difference: all of my goals have videos, so I can prove that.”
Pele is considered the highest goalscorer of all time by some, with Fifa crediting the late Brazil legend with 1,281 goals.
But the Brazilian Guinness world record holder amassed his haul with the help of around 550 exhibition and amateur matches.
His total in official career matches is 762, leading to a long-standing debate over which records are most credible.
