Brahim Díaz continues to set the pace in the race for the Golden Boot at the 2025 TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations. The Real Madrid winger has been Morocco’s talisman, striking five times in six matches to lead his nation into Sunday’s final against Senegal. Catch all the action live on SuperSport.
Although Díaz didn’t find the net in the semifinal victory over Nigeria, his tally of five goals keeps him firmly at the summit of the scoring charts. His blend of composure, timing, and clinical finishing has made him the standout attacking force of the tournament, a player who thrives when the stakes are highest.
Chasing him are two heavyweights of African football. Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen and Egypt’s Mohamed Salah both sit on four goals, keeping the pressure on and ensuring the race remains alive heading into the final.
Just behind them, five players are locked on three goals apiece: Ademola Lookman (Nigeria), Amad Diallo (Ivory Coast), Riyad Mahrez (Algeria), Ayoub El Kaabi (Morocco), and Lassine Sinayoko (Mali). Each has shown flashes of brilliance, though none have matched Díaz’s consistency.

Further down the list, a cluster of players sit on two goals, representing nations across the continent—from Ivory Coast and Senegal to South Africa and Mozambique. And remarkably, 63 different players have scored once at AFCON 2025, underlining the tournament’s competitive balance and the sheer variety of attacking threats on display.
As the curtain prepares to fall on this year’s competition, all eyes will be on Díaz. Can he extend his lead and crown Morocco’s campaign with the Golden Boot, or will one of Africa’s chasing stars snatch glory at the last?
