An astounding collection of finishes lit up the playoff race in the past month, which gets your vote?

A remarkable final month of the regular season produced outstanding finishes and dramatic late goals, and sometimes a combination of the two as the USL Championship’s regular season produced almost 1,500 goals across the campaign overall. Now the past month’s five Goal of the Week winners have all advanced to October’s Fans’ Choice Goal of the Month contest, and our friends at FotMob have picked out their favorite finish from the month to round out the top five for you to vote on for the award.

Voting will continue through 12 p.m. ET on Monday, November 8.
