AFCON 2022 top scorers: Vincent Aboubakar leads Golden Boot race ahead of Karl Toko Ekambi

Vincent Aboubakar has thrown down the gauntlet in the race for the Africa Cup of Nations Golden Boot.

The Cameroon captain has been in sublime form at the tournament thus far, netting a brace in both matches against Burkina Faso and Ethiopia to seal the hosts’ spot in the last-16 with a game to spare. He then added to his tally during the draw with Cape Verde, and continued his run of scoring by netting against Comoros.

Indomitable Lions team-mate Karl Toko Ekambi is not far behind, with five goals after a brace against Gambia in the quarer-finals, while Malawi’s Gabadinho Mhango and Mali’s Ibrahima Kone are on three. Sadio Mane has two, as he helped Senegal through to the last eight, with Mo Salah getting his second as Egypt beat Morocco.
