Faris Moumbagna had himself quite the month for Eliteserien (Norwegian Top Tier) side Kristiansund BK. Moumbagna was able to secure the 1-1 tie by contributing an assist vs Tromsø IL in their first match of the month. Kristiansund BK played once more vs Tromsø IL in August and Moumbanga was able to contribute another assist but this time his team just fell short 3-2. The Cameroonian striker then proved to be crucial to Kristiansund BK's win over #5 Viking FK. Moumbagna scored the 2 goals in the 2-1 win over Viking FK. He showed off his striker presence with a great header from the corner kick and beautifully taken left footed half turn volley for Kristiansund BK's Game-Winner. Moumbagna has now brought up his goal contributions to 5 in 6 games for Kristiansund BK in the Eliteserien.
Diego Campos was also in impressive form for Degerfors of the Allsvenska (Swedish Top Tier) in the month of August. Campos proved to be important for Degerfors as he was able to get himself the important game tying goal vs Varbergs BoIS with a sweet volley from just inside the box. Campos would then again prove to be a key player for Degerfors' 3-1 win vs GIF Sundsvall by scoring a stunning volley from outside the box for the partial game tying goal and then assisting the Game-Winner with a beautiful cross from the free-kick. The Costa Rican midfielder has now brought his goal contribution total to 7 in 20 games for Degerfors in the 2022-23 Allsvenska.
Albert Dikwa was a strong asset for the Pittsburgh Riverhounds in August for the USL Championship. Dikwa was able to help open the scoring by placing in a beautiful ball in from the right side for the calm finish in the Hounds' 2-0 win over Indy Eleven. The forward also proved to be crucial in his stellar performance vs Atlanta United II. Dikwa opened the scoring with a powerful finish to the bottom right corner that the Atlanta United II keeper just couldn't keep out. Dikwa then went on to score the Game-Winner off a beautiful open play header just outside of the keepers six-yard box. Dikwa has now contributed 13 goal in 27 games for the Riverhounds this 2022-23 USL Championship season.
