Ibrahim Diaz remains top of the AFCON 2025 Golden Boot race as Morocco reach the final against Senegal, set for January 18 at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.
Even if he didn’t score on Wednesday in the semi-final against Nigeria, which Morocco won 4–2 on penalties following a 0–0 draw, the Atlas Lion leads the scorers’ chart with five goals, ahead of Egypt’s Mohamed Salah and Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen on four, while Ayoub El Kaabi has only three.
None of the players leading the AFCON 2025 scorers’ chart scored in the semi-finals, with Senegal’s sole goal against Egypt coming from Sadio Mané, which is counted as his second of the tournament in Morocco.
Diaz scored five goals in six consecutive matches, starting with one in the opening win against Comoros, another in the 1-1 draw with Mali, one in the 3-0 win over Zambia, one against Tanzania, and one in Morocco’s 2-0 win over Cameroon.
The Atlas Lion has been the only player to score consistently, making him the most reliable attacker in the tournament so far.
With the final between Morocco and Senegal still to be played this Sunday, the Golden Boot winner hasn’t been decided yet.
