SL Benfica's Joel Queirós ended the 2009/10 UEFA Futsal Cup as top scorer thanks to his goal in the 3-2 final victory against Interviú Madrid.

Joel began Sunday's decider in Lisbon level with Luparense C/5 striker Vampeta and Aleksejs Baranovs of FK Nikars Riga on 11 goals and his first-half equaliser took him clear. Added to his two goals in the last-four defeat of Luparense, Joel also finished joint top scorer of the finals in Lisbon with team-mate Arnaldo, also on target on Sunday. Portuguese international Joel shared a similar honour at the UEFA European Futsal Championship in January.

The record for a season remains 19 by André Vanderlei for Action 21 Charleroi in 2003/04. He is the only player to twice finish top scorer and his career tally of 49 is a competition record, four clear of another Charleroi player, Lúcio, and Schumacher, part of the Interviú side on Sunday.
