Read the details in the report by [Sport RBC.UA](https://www.sport.rbc.ua). ### Decisive Penalty at the End of the First Half The turning point occurred near the end of the first half of the match. Having been awarded a penalty kick, Yarmolenko coolly converted it to beat the hosts' goalkeeper. This exact goal became pivotal for the player's personal statistics and the entire history of the championship. ### Historic Milestone: 125 Goals This goal marked the 37-year-old Kyiv winger's 125th career goal in the Ukrainian Premier League. The accurate strike allowed him to single-handedly top the list of the most prolific players in the tournament's history, solidifying the number one spot in the ranking. ### A Record That Stood for Over a Decade Thanks to his 125th goal, Yarmolenko surpassed former Dynamo Kyiv forward Maxim Shatskikh, who had 124 goals to his name.
