Ismaila Sarr Leads Europa Conference League Golden Boot Race as he eyes the tournament prize. He is in a strong position with six goals from nine games.
Key goals and big moments
Sarr opened his Conference League account with a brace in a 3-1 win over AZ Alkmaar. He then scored the opener in a 1-1 draw away to Zrinjski Mostar in the play-off first leg.
In the Round of 16 second leg, he scored both goals in a 2-1 away win at AEK Larnaca. He also found the net in Palace’s 3-0 quarter-final first-leg victory over Fiorentina.
Current standings and rivals
Two players sit above Sarr in the scoring charts. Marius Mouandilmadji and Mikael Ishak each have eight goals from 10 appearances.
Both of those players’ teams have been eliminated from the competition. That development boosts Sarr’s chances of finishing as top scorer.
| Rank | Player | Team | Goals | Played |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Marius Mouandilmadji | Samsunspor | 8 | 10 |
| 1 | Mikael Ishak | Lech Poznan | 8 | 10 |
| 3 | Ismaila Sarr | Crystal Palace | 6 | 9 |
| 3 | Sven Mijnans | AZ Alkmaar | 6 | — |
What comes next
AZ trail Shakhtar Donetsk 3-0 in their quarter-final tie. That leaves Mijnans with a slimmer path to catch Sarr.
If Crystal Palace progress to Leipzig in May, Sarr’s Golden Boot hopes improve. Palace are monitoring his progress closely.
