Andriy Yarmolenko has made Ukrainian football history by scoring his 124th goal in the country’s top division during the sixth round of the Ukrainian Premier League (UPL) in a match against “Epicenter.”
The 36-year-old Dynamo Kyiv winger and captain scored in the 42nd minute from a sharp angle just beneath the crossbar, following an assist from Mykola Shaparenko to open the scoring. With this milestone goal, Yarmolenko tied former Dynamo forward Maksym Shatskikh, who previously held the record for the most goals in Ukrainian league history alone.
Yarmolenko is now just one goal away from breaking the record and becoming the outright all-time leading scorer in Ukrainian championship history.
The current top five all-time leading scorers in the Ukrainian league are:
1. Andriy Yarmolenko — 124 goals
2. Maksym Shatskikh — 124 goals
3. Serhiy Rebrov — 123 goals
4. Yevhen Seleznyov — 117 goals
5. Andriy Vorobey — 105 goals
