Tolendi – the main poker king of the League! Who else has managed to achieve this milestone?

Let’s recall all the players who managed to score four goals in a single match.

The only author of three pokers – Anuar Tolendi

It should be noted that our ranking leader recorded his third poker in the recent week of the Freedom QJ League B. In that match, the KFF Academy, where Anuar plays, crushed Yelimay 6:0. Before joining this team, the young striker represented Astana in the Freedom QJ League U16 – and twice struck opponents with four goals in one game (against Atyrau and Caspiy).

Who knows – maybe in the future he’ll score four in the flagship tournament as well?

Two pokers each – Satpayev, PazyI and Nikolenko

Apart from Tolendi, only three players in the history of the League managed to score four goals in a single match more than once. They are Dastan Satpayev of Kairat, who became the only one to make two pokers in the U18 tournament, as well as Milena Nikolenko (Kairat) and Assyl PazyI (Astana), who stood out in the Freedom QJ League W.

Dastan, who remains the top scorer in the history of the League’s main tournament, scored his first poker in the opening match of the 2024 season – Tobol were on the receiving end. He needed just 43 minutes for that, and the game ended 12:1 for the Almaty side. A few months later, the Kairat striker marked himself with a penta-trick – this time against Kaisar (final score 10:0).

13-year-old Milena Nikolenko is the only female footballer in the League to score six goals in one game. This happened in the 8th week of the Freedom QJ League W against Zhetisu – Kairat won 11:1. Later, in the 12th week, she scored four against Shakhtyor in under an hour (final score – 8:2).

As for Assyl PazyI, she recorded 4+3 (goal+assist) in the match against Zhetisu in Taldykorgan, and later produced a penta-trick in the return leg.

Interestingly, in that second game with Zhetisu, which ended 17:2, another player from the capital team – Alziya Zhambyl – also made a poker.

The unique poker of Satenov

We cannot forget the achievement of Naiman Satenov this year – one that may never be repeated or surpassed.

In the 7th week match against Irtysh, the Shakhtyor midfielder was given four chances to take a penalty – and all were converted. As a result, the Miners secured a narrow 4:3 victory over the guests from Pavlodar.

It all started with Bagdat

It is worth mentioning the very first player to score a poker in a League match.

That was Ramazan Bagdat of Kairat – he struck the Shakhtyor net four times in the 6th week of the debut season. The game ended 6:0, and shortly before the final whistle Ramazan also provided an assist – Dias Tuleu scored.

15 players in the elite club

In addition to the above-mentioned names, two more participants of the main tournament have scored four goals in a single match: Azamat Tuyakbayev (Kairat, 2024) and Maksat Abrayev (Astana, 2025).

Along with them, the following players also reached the four-goal mark: Magzhan Seribek (Zhetisu, 2024, QJL U17 B), Daulet Orynbassar (Kairat, 2024, QJL U17 A), Ruslan Valikhan (Astana, 2024, QJL U17 A) and Nilesh Sharma (Kairat, 2025, QJL U17), as well as girl’s tournament players: Angelina Oster (Kairat), Sofya Rybak (Astana) and the already-mentioned Alziya Zhambyl (Astana).

A total of 15 players have so far managed to score a poker in the Freedom QJ League. Will someone else join this symbolic club already this autumn?
