Portugal defender Pepe became the oldest goalscorer in Champions League history as his late header helped Porto beat Royal Antwerp in Group H.
Pepe, 40 years and 254 days old, scored his side's second with a thumping 91st-minute finish, becoming the first player over 40 to score in European football's showpiece competition.
Francesco Totti had held the oldest scorer record at 38 years and 59 days.
Pepe is also the oldest outfield player in the competition's history.
He broke that record when he started against the same opponents on October 25.
Goalkeeper Marco Ballotta is the Champions League's oldest appearance maker - he was 43 years and 252 days old when he played for Lazio against Real Madrid in December 2007.
