The Uganda Cranes deputy skipper played in each of the club's three games played in November, putting up dominant performances.

He was integral as Yanga trumped arch-nemesis Simba SC 5-1, before they edged Coastal Union FC 1-0 in the Tanzania Premier League.

The month has had them stamp grip on proceedings in the league as they sit at the apex with 24 points out of a possible 27.

Meanwhile, in their final game of this month, Aucho and Yanga suffered a 3-0 thrashing at the hands of CR Belouizdad in their first game of the 2023/24 CAF Champions League group stages.

Aucho will face stiff competition, especially from Mzize, who scored one goal and provided two assists in the three games.

On the other hand, ZouZoua scored once in November, but his overall performances mean that he has made the three-man shortlist for the monthly gong.
