Niki Kalashchenko, son of former Israeli league star Sergei Kalashchenko, scored his first goal for the Moldova national team in a UEFA Nations League match against Kazakhstan on Friday. The younger Kalashchenko, born in Dublin in 2001, has been developing his career in Europe, including stints with Sporting Lisbon's youth academy and Portuguese club União de Leiria. He later played for Petrokov and Zimbru Chișinău before moving to Scottish club Kilmarnock in January. After initially struggling for playing time, he became a regular on the left wing during the team's promotion playoff matches, scoring his first goal for Kilmarnock in the final game of the season. He has also scored once this season in the league. His recent form earned him a call-up to the Moldovan national team, where he opened the scoring against Kazakhstan, giving Moldova a 1-0 lead. Sergei Kalashchenko, who played for Maccabi Haifa, Hapoel Tel Aviv, and Bnei Yehuda in the early 2000s, winning a championship with Maccabi Haifa in 2001 and reaching the UEFA Cup with Hapoel in 2002, recently finished his term coaching Moldova.
