RussiaCounted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
Oleh Valeriyovych Protasov is a Ukrainian and Soviet former footballer who played as a striker. He was a key member of the Soviet Union national team throughout the 1980s; his 29 goals for the Soviet Union are second in the team's history, behind Oleg Blokhin's 42. Protasov also holds the record for the number of goals per season by scoring 35 goals. It should be considered that his first name is often spelled as Oleg on most international rosters, particularly during his playing career. — Wikipedia

In the line-ups
9 appearances in recorded line-ups · 1986–1990The archive holds 9 team sheets naming Oleh Protasov in Russia's starting line-up, from 1986-06-09 to 1990-06-18.
9 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
