FIFA World Cup 2022: List of all man of the match award winners
The best player in each game is given this award
This World Cup has certainly excelled the previous World Cups in terms of entertainment; there have been so many shocks and players demonstrating their intent that they are sacrificing their heart and soul on the field to win this tournament. From outstanding performances by players to many underdogs generating upsets in the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
We are only in the second round of group stage matches, but a lot has already transpired. Yesterday, Qatar became the first host nation to be eliminated from the World Cup, while many teams have still to qualify for the round of 16.
Many individual player’s attributes altered the game for their team, and they were named Man of the Match. MOTM from each game is given here.
