Arkadag's Annadurdyyew bags Top Scorer honour
Phnom Penh: Altymyrat Annadurdyyew won the AFC Challenge League™ 2024/25 Top Scorer award after netting the winning goal in FC Arkadag's title triumph against Cambodia’s Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng FC on Saturday.
The centre-forward scored in the 112th minute of the final before almost 52,000 fans at the Morodok Techo National Stadium in Phnom Penh as Arkadag became the third side from Turkmenistan to lift a major Asian trophy.

Annadurdyyew's goal in the final took his tally to five, having scored consistently in Arkadag's run to the title.

Sent on in the 72nd minute, Annadurdyyew showed great presence of mind to net the winner, gleefully stroking past goalkeeper Vireak Dara after he was released by Arzuvguly Sapargulyyev from deep inside his own half.

"I couldn't start as I am recovering from an injury. I am so glad to have been able to contribute as we have worked so hard for this title. We played a very good game and were rewarded.," said Annadurdyyew, who was also named Player of the Match.
