Ezequiel Ponce Martínez (Spanish pronunciation: [eseˈkjel ˈponse]; born 29 March 1997) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Major League Soccer club Houston Dynamo.

Predictably, Ponce was snapped up by local club Newell's Old Boys at the age of eight, progressing through the youth set-up to eventually break into the senior squad in 2013.

Ponce started well with Roma by tallying three goals in the UEFA Youth League group stages, but disaster struck in December, as the striker received a torn ligament in his knee, which kept him on the sidelines for four months.

He returned to action with a bang in the spring, playing in their reserve squad, winning the Campionato Nazionale Primavera and scoring nine goals in ten matches.

[11][12] On 25 August 2018, he scored his first goal for the 2018–19 season in a 2–0 home win game against PAS Giannina as he was in the right place at the right time to convert a superb cross from Marko Livaja.

[14] On 29 September 2018, Ponce scored his third goal for the club in an away match against OFI, after the ball ricocheted of his body and ended up in the unguarded net to seal a 3–0 away win.

[21] On 3 February 2019, the Argentinian winger continued his rich vein of scoring form in style, rising to meet a superb cross from Marko Livaja and glance the ball into the bottom left corner past the dive of Alexandros Paschalakis in a 1–1 draw in an absorbing derby clash at the Olympic Stadium.

[23] On 26 February 2019, the prolific Argentinian striker took aim from the edge of the penalty area, thumping a fierce half-volley into the left corner past the despairing dive of Christos Theodorakis and opened the score in a thriumphic 3–0 home Greek Cup game against rivals Atromitos.

[25] On 7 April 2019, he scored when as he perfectly brought down Rodrigo Galo’s cross rifling a shot past Živko Živković in a final 3–1 away win game against Xanthi, a result which meant that the team had all but locked up third place in the Super League.

[29] In his fourth game for Spartak, he was sent off in the derby in the first half for striking the goalkeeper of Dynamo Moscow, Anton Shunin, with a straight leg during a cross from his teammate.
