Overview of results

The 20-year-old Ivorian has won the Player of the Month vote with 47.35 % of votes - seeing off Luka Sucic in second. Karim has a very good chance of ending the ADMIRAL Bundesliga season as top goalscorer too. The speedy attacker has 16 goals so far this season, three more than Marco Grüll with two matches remaining.

1st place - Karim Konate (47.35%)

The AFCON winner scored in four of the five matches in the month, netting two braces in the back-to-back ties against Klagenfurt and the equaliser in the big match against Sturm Graz! The Ivorian's 16 goals mean he is four strikes ahead of the rest in the top scorers' list in the ADMIRAL Bundesliga.

2nd place - Luka Sucic (40.37%)

The Croatian has found his way back towards his best after a long injury break, and his consistency has earned him a regular starting spot. Luka played the full 90 minutes in all five of our clashes in April, providing an assist and scoring his first Bundesliga goal in close to two years.

3rd place - Oscar Gloukh (8.26%)

The Israeli magician thrilled us in April with his great dribbling, superb passes and plentiful goal involvements. Oscar missed the clash against Rapid due to injury and recorded a mammoth five assists and one goal in the remaining four encounters.

4th place - Mamady Diambou (4.02%)

The Malian has been the man who has often needed to dig deep as a defensive midfield blocker. The 21-year-old made more challenges than anyone else in the big match against Sturm Graz.
