Super Falcons forward Monday Gift has been awarded the MVP Chafiras award which was presented to her at the Chafiras Adeje Bathroom and Ceramics Exhibition store following her performance in the match against Depor Abanca, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
This award comes at the back of the lethal forward being included in the Liga F team of the week, completing a star-studded XI that includes Barcelona Femenin Rölfo and Madrid's Tere Abelleira.
After a 51st-minute goal to open the score chart and give her side the lead, she wasted no time in adding another in the 64th minute to complete her brace with Rinsola Babajide also getting on the grove with her 69th-minute strike to put the game beyond the reach of the visitors.
The Costa Adeje Tenerife Egatesa striker shares a place of honour in the Top 6 of top scorers in Liga F with top-level players, in the most inspired season in the offensive part of a warrior who has nonconformity as her flag. “I don’t think I’m at my best yet, but I’m working to be at my best,” says the Nigerian, within a credo of self-demand that has led her to achieve her best performance since she is in Tenerife and become a fundamental part of the Nigerian women national team.
