Brahim Diaz β The Game Changer and Record Breaker βπ€ΉπΌββοΈ
Once again, Brahim Diaz stole the spotlight. The Real Madrid star has been unstoppable throughout AFCON 2026, and against Cameroon, he delivered another masterclass performance.
In the 37th minute, Diaz opened the scoring with a stunning right-foot finish after a perfect through ball from Ziyech. His close control, movement between the lines, and creativity constantly caused chaos in Cameroonβs defense.
Brahimβs performance wasnβt just about scoring β he dictated Moroccoβs attacking play, linked beautifully with Ziyech and Mazraoui, and tracked back to support in defense.
With this goal, Diaz reached five goals in five AFCON games, making him the first player since 1968 to achieve such a record. He is now a serious contender for AFCON Player of the Tournament.
βBrahim Diaz has been phenomenal β his vision, energy, and confidence inspire the whole team,β said coach Walid Regragui after the match.
Noussair Mazraoui β The Engine of the Right Flank β‘π²π¦
If Diaz was the creative artist, Noussair Mazraoui was the workhorse. The Bayern Munich full-back played one of his best games for Morocco in this tournament.
Defensively, Mazraoui was solid β shutting down Cameroonβs left winger with precise tackles and intelligent positioning. But it was his offensive contribution that truly stood out.
- Mazraoui completed 7 successful dribbles (the highest in the match).
- He provided the assist for Moroccoβs third goal after a breathtaking overlap and low cross to En-Nesyri.
- He made five key passes and constantly linked up with Hakimi and Diaz on the right side to stretch Cameroonβs defense.
Mazraouiβs tireless performance proved once again why he is one of Africaβs top full-backs. His chemistry with Diaz created a lethal combination that Cameroon couldnβt contain.
