About the player
Mateo Cassierra broke a Russian Premier League record in May 2024, becoming the first player to score five goals in a single match, in Zenit's rout of Akhmat Grozny. That season he finished as the league's top scorer with 21 goals and was named the No. 1 forward on the List of 33 Best Players.
He started out at Deportivo Cali, where he won the Apertura title before Ajax signed him in 2016. Loan spells at Groningen and Racing Club followed, then a move to Belenenses SAD in Portugal.
His career turned again in Russia. At Sochi he finished as the league's second-top scorer in 2021/22 and picked up a silver medal.
Cassierra has also featured for Colombia, making his debut against Iraq in June 2023 and scoring in one of his three caps so far. In January 2026 he joined Atlético Mineiro, taking the number 9 shirt.
