Goalkeeper
Marco Carducci (Cavalry FC)
The Cavalry keeper made some game-saving stops in his side’s 1-1 draw with Vancouver FC on Friday, including an incredible diving effort on a cross-goal strike from Alejandro Díaz.
Defenders
Zachary Fernandez (Valour FC)
In his Valour FC debut, Fernandez was brilliant down the right flank. He had a great chance to open his account for the season, but was especially impressive on the defensive side of the ball, winning six of seven duels, four tackles and making a stunning five interceptions.
Noah Abatneh (Atlético Ottawa)
On Saturday, Abatneh scored the winner in a thrilling contest against his former side, York United. It was the highlight of an outstanding performance, where the 20-year-old central defender completed 91.5 per cent of his passes, won eight of nine duels, including all three in the air and made three interceptions.
Allan Enyou (Vancouver FC)
Playing as a central defender who covered at left-back when Elage Bah moved forward, Enyou proved critical to Vancouver FC’s defensive effort against Cavalry. He made eight clearances and won two tackles, while winning three of five duels.
Wesley Timoteo (Halifax Wanderers)
Timoteo scored a stunning strike to open the scoring in Halifax on Saturday. He was dangerous throughout, finishing the match against Pacific with four shot attempts, and a chance created. He also won six of 12 duels and made five clearances.
