Mato shrugged off competition from SC Villa's David Owori and Busoga United's Laban Tibita.
Uganda Cranes forward Rogers Mato has been voted the Real Stars player of the month.
The KCCA FC player was instrumental in the Cranes' triumph over Tanzania in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in March.
After losing 1-0 to the Taifa Stars in Egypt, Uganda needed a redeemer, or their chances of qualifying for the 2023 AFCON had been shattered.
When the two East African neighbours met in Dar es Salaam for the return leg of the doubleheader, Mato came off the bench and netted a stoppage-time winner in Uganda's 1-0 victory.
On four points in Group F, the Cranes are now in contention for a berth at AFCON to be staged in Ivory Coast in 2024.
They will host Algeria in June before later visiting Niger to determine if they will be returning to AFCON for the first time since 2019.
Mato shrugged off competition from SC Villa's David Owori and Busoga United's Laban Tibita.
At the awarding ceremony held at Lazio Restaurant in Lugogo, outstanding athletes from other sports disciplines were also rewarded.
Kobs' Collin Kimbowa, Latib Muwonge, Parvin Nangonzi, Joyce Nalubega, Sarah Makanga, and the duo of Yasin Nasser and Ali Katumba were rewarded in Rugby, Boxing, Table Tennis, Woodball, Darts, and Rally respectively.
