Man of the Match

In each game that Chicagoland Soccer covers, our reporters select the player who made a difference in the match -- the Chicagoland Soccer Man of the Match.

Each honoree will receive the white Chicagoland Soccer Man of the Match shirt. No other white shirts or shirts bearing the words "Man of the Match" will be made or distributed by Chicagoland Soccer.
