- 2018.
- Marcos Piñero PIZZELLI (03.10.1984, Piracicaba).
- Follower of the Brazilian football team of the state of Sao Paulo, who plays for the Armenian national team, did not even suspect when he entered the final match of his best 2018 season in Almaty that it was in this stadium that his direct compatriots from Piracicaba played an international match with FC Kairat in the distant 1964, and lost 1:3.
- By the way, in the 2018 season, the promising forward scored a goal only a couple of months later,
in the May meeting with FC Akzhayik. And then he went on a scoring streak of 7 matches from the end to mid-July, thereby repeating Oleg Litvinenko’s 1998 record. In this series, he scored the opponents’ net 12 times! Of these, a hat-trick against Tobol, and two braces against Kairat and Atyra. He recorded another brace this season in the game against Tobol. And his 18 goals outweighed the best game of Astana and Kazakhstan national team defender Dmitry Shomko.
- For the first time, a player whose team not only did not take a prize, but also did not even make it into the top five, was named the Best Footballer.
