AFCON Morocco 2025’s group stage exploded with 87 goals across 24 matches, blending African Footballer of the Year legends like Sadio Mané (Senegal), Riyad Mahrez (Algeria), Mohamed Salah (Egypt), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon), Achraf Hakimi (Morocco), Ademola Lookman & Victor Osimhen (Nigeria) with rising firecrackers Amad Diallo (Côte d’Ivoire), Bryan Mbeumo (Cameroon), and Raphael Onyedika (Nigeria).
Mané, Mahrez, Salah, and crew dropped decisive strikes—Mané’s goal + Jackson’s brace topped Group D; Mahrez’s hat-trick vibes crushed Group E; Salah’s clutch winners sealed Egypt’s Group B lead; Lookman’s 2 goals/2 assists owned Tunisia; Osimhen struck big too.
Hosts Morocco rode Hakimi’s return, while Diallo’s pace lit up Ivory Coast and Mbeumo shredded defenses—setting knockout fireworks where vets clash with next-gen heirs for the next Ballon d’Or Africain.
