Romario set to continue 1,000 goals quest in Brazil

Vancouver won the two-match aggregate series 6-1.

Romario signed a one-year contract with the expansion club this year. The star who helped lead Brazil to the 1994 World Cup title reportedly will return to his homeland and conclude his quest for a career milestone of 1,000 goals.

The 40-year-old scored a league-leading 19 goals in his first USL season. Romario, whose travels include stops with FC Barcelona, Valencia, PSV Eindhoven and Vasco de Gama, has 983 career goals, reports AP.

As he walked off the field following Sunday's loss, Romario refused to discuss his future playing plans.

"It was a positive and good first season for the team," he said. "The players showed that they can play at a high level."
