Artem Stepanov, the Ukrainian striker for Utrecht, continued his scoring run in the Dutch championship, finding the net in a match against PSV. The forward started the game for his team and, as early as the 6th minute, put Utrecht ahead by skillfully beating the Eindhoven goalkeeper. However, this early lead was not enough to save the club from defeat: before the break, PSV had taken the lead, and in the second half they turned the game into a rout, ultimately winning 6-1. ### Scoring streak in the Eredivisie Despite the final result of the match, the goal against PSV was Stepanov's third in a row in the Dutch championship. Earlier, the Ukrainian forward had scored against Sparta Rotterdam and AZ, which underscores his current form and attacking consistency at the start of the season. Such a run of goals against strong opponents makes him one of the most dangerous strikers in the league at the moment. ### Player status and contract rights The rights to the talented forward belong to Germany's Bayer, with whom Stepanov signed a contract in 2024 running until the summer of 2027. The Ukrainian has been playing for Utrecht on loan since January 2025, which allows him to regularly get playing time in the Eredivisie and build his form under the guidance of the Utrecht club. This loan arrangement, with the rights retained by the German club, remains a workable format for the development of the young striker. ### A signal for Donetsk's Shakhtar Stepanov's goal against PSV is an important signal for Donetsk's Shakhtar, which will begin its path in the main round of the 2026/27 Champions League season with a match against the Eindhoven side. The head-to-head match between the Ukrainian and Dutch clubs will take place on Thursday, September 10, at 19:45 Kyiv time. Knowledge of the current form and scoring record of the PSV striker, who recently scored against them, may serve as useful scouting for the "miners" ahead of this confrontation. ### Context: Ukrainians in Europe In addition to Stepanov, other Ukrainian footballers continue to make their mark in European football. Earlier, it was reported that Vladyslav Vanat provided an assist in his first match for Girona in the new season. The combination of these events demonstrates the active presence of Ukrainian players in strong European leagues and their contribution to their teams' results on the international stage. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Scoring streak continues: Ukrainian striker scores against Shakhtar's opponent](https://sport.rbc.ua/ukr/football/golova-seriya-trivae-ukrayinskiy-napadnik-1788102203.html) - Подтверждает гол Степанова в ворота ПСВ и продолжение голевой серии, а также связь с будущим матчем «Шахтера». - [Ukrainian forward scores in third consecutive match in the Netherlands](https://tsn.ua/ru/prosport/ukrainskiy-forvard-zabil-gol-v-tretem-podryad-matche-v-niderlandah-3158609.html) - Подтверждает факт третьего подряд гола в чемпионате Нидерландов. - [Stepanov approaches the record for Ukrainians in the Netherlands](https://www.ua-football.com/ukrainian/ukrainians/1788097160-stepanov-podbiraetsya-k-rekordu-ukraincev-v-niderlandah.html) - Подтверждает результативную форму Степанова в Эредивизи и его статус украинца в Нидерландах. - [Will there be a goal?
