Mahrez Leads AFCON Scorers, Nigeria Top Attack After Group Stage Openers

Riyad Mahrez is the top scorer so far at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The Algerian captain has taken an early lead in the race for the tournament's Golden Boot award. After two rounds of group matches in Morocco, Nigeria's national team has shown the most powerful attack. Their scoring form makes them a serious contender to win the title. The tournament, sponsored by TotalEnergies and organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), is being held in cities across Morocco. The group stage will conclude this week before the knockout rounds begin.
