Dynamo's forward became the UPL's top scorer

Kyiv Dynamo forward Matviy Ponomarenko was named the top scorer of the Ukrainian Premier League for the 2025/26 season.

This was reported by the UPL.

The forward finished the season with 13 goals in just 15 matches. Ponomarenko became Dynamo’s main striker only in the second half of the season.

In the race for the top scorer title, he edged out Zorya forward Pylyp Budkivsky and Kudrivka midfielder Andriy Storchous, who each scored 12 goals.

Ponomarenko also made club history by continuing the streak of Dynamo forwards who have won the Ukrainian league’s top scorer race for the third consecutive season.

Lionel Messihas chosen his successor in soccer.

As a reminder, the IOC has allowed Russian junior athletes to compete under the national flag.
