Super Falcons Star Gift Monday Nominated for Spanish Liga F Player of the Month After Stunning Goals Against Barcelona, Sevilla & Valencia

Nigeria’s Super Falcons forward, Gift Monday, has been nominated for the Spanish Liga F Player of the Month award for February, following a string of sensational performances for UD Tenerife. The 23-year-old striker has been in scintillating form, playing a pivotal role in Tenerife’s rise to sixth place in the league, and her goal-scoring heroics have not gone unnoticed.

Monday has already netted 10 goals in 17 league appearances this season, making her one of the most prolific strikers in Spain’s top-flight women’s league. Her impressive form continued in February, when she found the back of the net against Sevilla and Valencia, securing crucial victories for her club.

Among Spain’s Elite Stars

Monday’s nomination places her among some of the league’s finest talents. She is competing for the prestigious award against:

  • Alba Redondo (Real Madrid)
  • Caroline Hansen (Barcelona)
  • Ainhoa Marin (Deportivo La Coruña)
  • Ane Azkona (Athletic Club)
  • Ari Mingueza (Granada)
  • Elba Verges (Eibar)

The Nigerian forward has now firmly established herself as one of Liga F’s most lethal attackers, proving to be a nightmare for defenders.

A Goal Machine on Fire

Monday has been one of the league’s most consistent goal scorers, enjoying an incredible six-match scoring streak between December and January. During this period, she registered goals against top teams, including Barcelona, Deportivo, Granada, and Madrid.

Her relentless goal-scoring form has propelled her to third place in the Liga F top scorers’ chart, trailing only:

  1. Ewa Pajor (Barcelona) – 15 goals
  2. Edna Imade (Granada) – 12 goals

Monday’s 10-goal tally this season is already an upgrade from her previous two seasons in Spain combined. Last season, she managed six goals in 28 league appearances, while her first campaign in Spain saw her score just three times in 19 matches.

Copa de la Reina Impact

Beyond the league, Monday also showcased her goal-scoring prowess in the Copa de la Reina, where she netted twice in two matches before Tenerife were eliminated by Barcelona.

What’s Next for Gift Monday?

With Tenerife aiming for a higher league finish, Monday remains a crucial asset in their attack. If her goal-scoring form continues, she could cement her place among the greatest Nigerian female footballers to play in Europe.

As Nigeria’s women’s football continues to grow, Gift Monday’s success in Spain is a testament to the undeniable talent coming out of the Super Falcons squad.
