Striker Serhou Guirassy nets winner for Guinea against DRC

Guinea’s forward, Serhou Guirassy, scored the only goal against the Democratic Republic of Congo during Matchday 5 of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, bringing his total to six goals in Abidjan on Saturday night.

The Borussia Dortmund striker scored a dramatic stoppage-time goal as Guinea secured a vital 1-0 victory over the Democratic Republic of Congo. This victory puts Guinea in a strong position for qualification. They need only a draw in their final match against Tanzania.

His form has been pivotal to Guinea’s campaign, highlighting his clinical finishing and ability to perform under pressure.

Morocco’s Brahim Diaz is the second-highest scorer with four goals, while several players, including Algeria’s Amine Gouiri and Senegal’s Sadio Mané, have three goals each.

As the qualifiers near completion, the race for top scorer remains competitive, with Guirassy poised to extend his tally.

Guinea is now in second place in Group H with 9 points, two ahead of Tanzania, who drew 0-0 with Ethiopia.

With DR Congo already qualifying, the final match between Guinea and Tanzania will decide who joins them. A draw is enough for Guinea, while Tanzania needs to win to advance.

The final matches will conclude on Tuesday, determining the last five spots for the tournament, scheduled in Morocco from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026.
