AFCON 2022 top scorers: Vincent Aboubakar extends Golden Boot race lead with Sadio Mane in third
Vincent Aboubakar looks set to win the race for the Africa Cup of Nations Golden Boot.
The Cameroon captain was in sublime form during his run at the tournament, 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 and Burkina Faso in the knockouts.
Indomitable Lions team-mate Karl Toko Ekambi did not finish far behind, with five goals after a brace against Gambia in the quarter-finals, while Malawi’s Gabadinho Mhango and Mali’s Ibrahima Kone finished up on three.
Sadio Mane also has three, as he helped Senegal through to the final, with Mo Salah getting his second as Egypt beat Morocco. The duo can extend their tallies in tonight’s final.
Sofiane Boufal will not be adding to his three, while Ibrahima Kone hit two goals for Mali in the tournament, both of which came from the penalty spot. Nicolas Pepe notched up two goals and an assist, after he played a starring role in Ivory Coast’s progression to the last-16.
