Yade Ndiaye Sets Double UPL Record with Penalty Goal

The match between Zorya and LNZ in the 12th round, which ended with a 2-1 victory for the Luhansk side, entered Ukrainian football history thanks to a precise strike by Yade Ndiaye. By converting a penalty in the 7th minute, the Senegalese forward established two historic records for the Ukrainian Premier League.

A Double Milestone

Ndiaye's goal marked the 700th penalty scored by away teams in the history of the Ukrainian championships, which began in 1992. Simultaneously, this goal became the 100th penalty conceded by Zorya. It is worth noting that Zorya became only the fourth club in the league's history to reach this negative statistical mark.

• In total, referees have awarded 901 penalties against home teams since 1992.
• Players from Dynamo and Shakhtar have most frequently converted away penalties (92 and 63 times, respectively).
• Andriy Yarmolenko remains the top scorer from away penalties with 12 goals.

Statistics also show that Arsenal's goalkeepers have conceded the most such goals (43 times), followed by Zorya and Chornomorets with 39 each. The first away penalty in UPL history was scored by Evgen Dragunov for Shakhtar on March 10, 1992.
