CONCACAF HIGHEST SCORING DEFENDER OF XXI CENTURY
CONCACAF Highest Scoring Defender of XXI Century: Keilor Soto
The ranking for XXI century’s highest scoring defenders is dominated by Costa-Rican players. They occupy the entire podium after 2023.
The record (93 top-level goals) still belongs to the retired centre-back Keilor Soto but his runner-up Kendall Waston (83) quickly reduces the distance between them.
