AFCON 2019: Highest goal scorers ahead of semi-final matches

Four players are tied on three goals each, ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations semi-final fixtures.

They are: Odion Ighalo (Nigeria), Cédric Bakambu (Congo DR), Sadio Mane (Senegal) and Adam Ounas (Algeria).

However, only three are still in the race to win the Golden Boot, as Bakambu’s country has been eliminated in the Round of 16.

The Super Eagles will be looking to Ighalo, when they take on Algeria on Sunday, while Mane is the Teranga Lions’ danger man as they play Tunisia.

Ounas should be in action, when Algeria clash with Nigeria for a place in the AFCON final.

Top scorers so far:

3 goals: Ighalo (NGR), Mane (SEN), Bakambu (COD), Ounas (ALG)

2 goals: Belaili, Mahrez (both ALG), Elmohamady, Salah (both EGY), Andriamahitsinoro (MAD), J. Ayew (GHA), Bahoken (CMR), En-Nesyri (MAR), Okwi (UGA), Olunga (KEN), Pote (BEN), Yattara (GUI), Kodjia, Zaha (both CIV), Bongani Zungu (RSA)
