Nigeria’s Gift Monday and Edna Imade have been shortlisted for the Spanish Liga F Player of the Month award for November.
The UD Tenerife and Granada stars will vie for the accolade alongside top players like Barcelona Femini’s Patri Guijarro, Atlético de Madrid’s Bøe Risa, Real Sociedad Femenino’s Andreia Jacinto, and Madrid CFF’s Allegra Poljak.
Monday was instrumental for Tenerife across three Liga F matches, leading her team to two wins and a draw. She registered one goal and an assist in 214 minutes.
The 22-year-old’s attacking efforts included four shots on target and two successful crosses, showcasing her ability to create scoring opportunities. However, her dribbling struggles (0/4) and a couple of missed big chances reveal areas for growth.
In duels, Monday’s physical presence stood out. She won 11 out of 22 ground duels and 5 of 11 aerial battles.
