Sierra Leone's Momoh Kamara has emerged as the leading goal scorer in the ongoing 2025 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) taking place in Egypt, with four goals to his name.
Despite Sierra Leone's exit from the tournament following a narrow 1-0 defeat to Morocco in the quarter-finals, Kamara's impressive goal tally remains unmatched as the competition enters its semi-final stage.
South Africa's Thabang Mahlangu follows closely in second place with three goals, while DR Congo's duo of Samuel Ntanda and Noah Makanza, Senegal's Cheikh Tidiane Thiam, Kenya's Lawrence Ouma, and Morocco's Yassir Zabiri have all netted twice in the tournament.
Nigeria's Flying Eagles secured their place in the semi-finals after a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Senegal in the quarter-finals. The Nigerian side will now face South Africa in the last four, while hosts Egypt will take on Morocco in the other semi-final fixture scheduled for Thursday.
The quarter-final stage saw some intense encounters, with Egypt defeating Ghana via penalties, Morocco securing a 1-0 win against Sierra Leone, and South Africa overcoming DR Congo by the same scoreline.
As the tournament progresses, football fans across the continent are eagerly anticipating the semi-final clashes, with Nigeria aiming to advance to the final in their quest for an eighth U-20 AFCON title.
