Five goals in our four Europa League qualifying matches, plus the goal against Austria Vienna – the Bosnian's impressive goalscoring record speaks for itself this month.

2nd - Nikolas Veratschnig (29.64 %)

Wearing the captain's armband, the Austrian was always full steam ahead on the right flank. Solid at the back, and a constant threat going forward: he recorded an assist each against Mjällby and Austria Vienna – all in all, making for a very strong month.

3rd - Kevin Boma (10.54 %)

With five clean sheets, our new defensive leader practically nominated himself. The truth is: almost every defender deserved it this month, and the 23-year-old is representative of the entire Red Bulls defence. Furthermore, Kevin provided the crucial assist for the equalising goal in the 1-1 draw at WAC.

4th - Karim Konate (6.87 %)

Karim also provided plenty of goal involvements. He scored the winning goal against Hartberg, the first goal in the 3-0 victory against WSG Tirol was his, and in the match against Mjällby, he not only provided the assist in the 1-0 first-leg win but also scored a brace in the second leg.
