This round’s hero was Nazarij Fedorivskyi, whose free-kick contribution in injury time led to Denis Ustymentko’s goal, who headed the ball into the net of Dynamo’s goal, securing a draw for Obolon (2:2).
Interestingly, during the same period (since the 2018/19 season), goalkeepers have provided assists in all top-5 championships. The most in England (22), the least in Spain (5). The undisputed leader in this nomination is Ederson (Manchester City), who made six assists, half of which were in the last season.
