AFCON 2025: Brahim Díaz leads the top scorers’ table ahead of the final

With five goals since the start of the tournament, Brahim Diaz leads Mohamed Salah and Victor Osimhen and stands as the competition’s top scorer on the eve of the final showdown.

The Moroccan winger Brahim Díaz currently leads the Africa Cup of Nations top scorers. The Real Madrid player has five goals, which puts him one ahead of Egyptian Mohamed Salah and Nigerian Victor Osimhen, both on four goals. This ranking was decided after the semifinals played on Wednesday evening.

As a reminder, Senegal booked its ticket to the final by beating Egypt (1-0), while Morocco secured qualification against Nigeria after a tense penalty shootout. The final will thus provide a last stage for the continent’s scorers, with Brahim Díaz headlining.
