Morocco: After opening the scoring against Cameroon in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, Brahim D­az became the first player in AFCON history to score in each of his first five appearances in the final phase of the tournament, an unprecedented feat in the competition’s 67 years.

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, D­az is also the only player in the past 57 years to have found the net in the first five matches of a single edition. Moreover, he has become just the second player to score against five different nations in the same tournament, after Egypt’s Gedo in 2010.

With these never-before-matched performances, the Real Madrid player confirms his status as a crucial player for the Moroccan national team and the leader of the Atlas Lions’ attack.

Having scored against Comoros, Mali, Zambia, Tanzania, and Cameroon, Brahim D­az, twice named Man of the Match, is enjoying an outstanding AFCON and has established himself as a serious contender for the tournament’s Best Player award.
