Brahim Díaz and the Goal Record No One Can Take Away in AFCON History
Brahim Díaz is delivering as Morocco’s star player. The Real Madrid attacker’s performances have already made him historic in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Brahim Díaz has lost prominence at Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid, but at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, which you can watch live on beIN SPORTS, he has emerged as the tournament’s standout player and top scorer, with five goals.
Brahim and a Goal-Scoring Record at AFCON 2025 and in History
The Real Madrid forward found the net once again in a tight quarterfinal clash against Cameroon.
That goal for the Atlas Lions turned Brahim Díaz into the only player in Africa Cup of Nations history to score five goals in consecutive matches.
Which Other Players Have Scored Five Goals in a Single AFCON?
According to Opta data, only three players have managed to score five goals in a single AFCON tournament, but none had ever done so in consecutive games.
The first was Ndaye Mulamba with DR Congo in 1974, followed by Gedo with Egypt in 2010, and Vincent Aboubakar with Cameroon in 2022.
