Goals Scored - 18

The Uruguayan has steadily been among the top contenders since the start of the season. Stuani continued his goal-scoring streak in March and his form has helped his club shy clear of the relegation battle.

Stuani started March with a goalscoring masterclass against Rayo Vallecano, scoring both goals in a 2-0 win. He was in the scoresheet in the next game as well, against Valencia at home, but Girona succumbed to a 3-2 defeat. After failing to score in the 2-0 win against Leganes, Stuani scored once again against Athletic Bilbao at home, but Girona lost the game 2-1.

The Uruguayan missed the away defeat to Atletico Madrid at the start of April, but last weekend, he was back in the team and in the scoresheet, against Espanyol. Sadly, Girona lost that game as well.

Stuani has now scored 18 goals from 27 games so far this season and is averaging a goal every 127 minutes played. He might need to score a few more till the end of the season to ensure his club stay safe in La Liga.
