2025 AFCON: Morocco's Brahim Diaz equals Osei Kofi's AFCON goalscoring record

Morocco forward Brahim Díaz has etched his name into Africa Cup of Nations history by scoring in five consecutive matches at the 2025 tournament, matching a record set by Ghana legend Osei Kofi in 1968.

Díaz’s latest strike came in Morocco’s 2-0 quarter-final victory over Cameroon on Friday, securing the Atlas Lions’ place in the semifinals.

The Real Madrid attacker opened his account against Comoros in the group stage and maintained his scoring run with goals against Mali and Zambia.

He then netted the winner in Morocco’s round-of-16 clash with Tanzania before adding another in the last eight.

By scoring in five straight games, Díaz becomes only the second player in AFCON history to achieve the feat, joining Osei Kofi, who was a key figure for Ghana in the 1960s.

Kofi’s illustrious career included multiple AFCON appearances and top-scorer honours at the 1965 tournament, cementing his legacy in African football.

Díaz now has the chance to make history in the semifinals against the winner of Algeria and Nigeria. A goal in that match would see him become the first player ever to score in six consecutive AFCON games.
