Algerian international has three goals after four games
Remember last year’s Videotron Player of the Month standings? Well, they’re BACK in 2019, and now that the first month of action is over, it’s time to see who’s leading.
For those who need reminding, every game (almost), the Montreal Impact asks you, the supporters, to pick your Videotron Man of the Match through our mobile app. It’s always a choice between three Impact players who are having a good game, and the winner is announced once the game is over.
For our standings, the winner of the Videotron Man of the Match earns five points, whoever finishes second gets two points, and the player who finishes third gets one point.
Here are the standings so far in 2019:
