The TotalEnergies AFCON 2025 has reached its semi-final stage, with Nigeria, hosts Morocco, Egypt and Senegal left battling for continental glory. Ahead of the decisive clashes, SoftFootball highlights the top three goal scorers who have lit up the tournament so far.
Brahim Díaz – 5 goals (Morocco)
Morocco’s Brahim Díaz currently tops the scoring chart with five goals and has been remarkably consistent throughout the competition.
He found the net in the 26th minute during Morocco’s 2–0 quarter-final victory over Cameroon and also scored the decisive goal in a 1–0 win against Tanzania. Díaz further netted against Zambia, Mali and Comoros in the group stage, meaning he has scored in every AFCON 2025 match he has played so far.
Victor Osimhen – 4 goals (Nigeria)
Nigeria’s talisman Victor Osimhen has been central to the Super Eagles’ impressive run. The 2023 CAF African Player of the Year scored twice in Nigeria’s emphatic 4–0 round-of-16 win over Mozambique and added another goal in the 3–2 group-stage victory over Tunisia.
Osimhen was again decisive in the quarter-finals, scoring and providing an assist for Akor Adams in the 2–0 win over Algeria.
Mohamed Salah – 4 goals (Egypt)
Egypt captain Mohamed Salah has delivered when it mattered most. His goals include a crucial strike in the dramatic 3–2 quarter-final win over Côte d’Ivoire and a 120+4-minute winner against Mali in the round of 16.
Salah also scored a penalty in a 1–0 win over South Africa and netted in the 2–1 group-stage victory against Zimbabwe, failing to score only in Egypt’s 0–0 draw with Angola.
AFCON 2025 resumes on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, with Nigeria facing hosts Morocco, while Egypt take on Senegal in what promises to be two thrilling semi-final encounters.
