The Galician netted the opening goal of the season for Betis in the 3-0 victory over Elche CF. Subsequently, his brace gave Los Verdiblancos an important 2-1 away win over RCD Mallorca, and another Iglesias strike was decisive in overcoming CA Osasuna 1-0 to situate Betis in the upper echelons of the table.

And so Borja Iglesias takes home the first LaLiga Santander Player of the Month trophy, outdoing the other contenders for the award: Robert Lewandowski (FC Barcelona), Gero Rulli (Villarreal CF), Vini Jr. (Real Madrid), Iago Aspas (RC Celta), Chimy Avila (CA Osasuna) and Kang-In Lee (RCD Mallorca).
