Yuya Osako capped his marvelous 2023 season with Konami Player of the Month for November and December.

Osako saved his best for last, playing at his best to win Vissel Kobe their very first Meiji Yasuda J1 League title. He scored from nearly half-field deep into stoppage time to beat Urawa Reds in Matchweek 32, preserving Vissel’s lead atop the table.

The next matchday, Osako made two gorgeous passes for assists to beat Nagoya Grampus, 2-1, and clinch the league for Vissel.

Osako’s match-winner against Urawa was his 22nd of the season, which earned him the league’s joint Top Scorer honors. His assists to clinch the league were his sixth and seventh of the campaign, giving him an astonishing finishing and creative output for the year.

Osako won Konami Player of the Month honors in May and July as well, giving him a spectacular three on the season.

In J3, top honors went to Kataller Toyama’s Matheus Leria, who scored four goals and added an assist in November and December.

The Konami Player of the Month award in J2 was given to Júbilo Iwata’s Masaya Matsumoto two weeks ago.
