Morocco star Brahim Díaz has etched his name into Africa Cup of Nations history after becoming the first player ever to score in each of his first five matches at the tournament.

The 26-year-old continued his sensational form by opening the scoring in Morocco’s 2–0 quarter-final victory over Cameroon, reacting quickest to a corner to finish from close range in the 26th minute.

Díaz had already found the net in all three of Morocco’s Group A fixtures, scoring against Comoros, Mali and Zambia, before delivering a dramatic 86th-minute winner against Tanzania in the Round of 16.
Beyond his personal milestone, the Real Madrid winger also joined former Egypt forward Gedo as only the second player in AFCON history to score against five different nations in a single tournament. Gedo previously achieved the feat during Egypt’s triumphant 2010 campaign.

Since switching allegiance from Spain and making his debut for the Atlas Lions in March 2024, Díaz has enjoyed a prolific international run, scoring 13 goals in 20 appearances for Morocco.

His record-breaking exploits continue to fuel Morocco’s quest for continental glory at AFCON 2025.
