Brahim Díaz has extended his lead in the Golden Boot race at the 2025 TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations after scoring in Morocco's 2-0 quarter-final victory over Cameroon.
With this goal, Díaz now has five goals in five matches, marking him as the tournament’s top scorer.
The win secured Morocco’s spot in the semi-finals, following Senegal’s narrow 1-0 victory over Mali. Ismael Saibari also scored for Morocco, but Díaz’s scoring streak makes him the standout player.
Second on the list is Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen after his goal against Algeria in their quarter-final contest at the Grand Stadium in Marrakech on Saturday.
Nigeria’s Super Eagles maintained their strong performance at the 2025 African Cup of Nations by defeating the Desert Warriors of Algeria 2-0, and Victor Osimhen scored the opener.
Behind them, seven players, including Nigeria’s Ademola Lookman, Côte d’Ivoire’s Amad Diallo, and Egypt’s Mohamed Salah, are tied with three goals each. Many players have two goals, while 61 have scored once, reflecting the competitive nature of the AFCON 2025 tournament.
As the tournament approaches its final stages, Díaz’s skill and timing have set him apart from the rest.
