Diaz Hunts a Historic AFCON Moment: Morocco’s Crusade Against Senegal

Diaz Chases an Unprecedented AFCON Milestone Against Senegal

Morocco's Ibrahim Diaz, the Real Madrid forward, is chasing a historic milestone tonight in the Africa Cup of Nations final against Senegal.

According to Opta statistics, Diaz has already found the net in five of six AFCON 2025 appearances, and he could become the first player to score in six different matches within a single edition.

Morocco's coach Walid Regragui has named Diaz in the attack as part of a measured approach to the final.

Morocco's Starting XI

Goalkeeper: Yassine Bounou. Defense: Achraf Hakimi, Nayef Aguerd, Adam Masina, Noussair Mazraoui.

Midfield: Nayel Al-Ainawi, Ismail Sibeiri, Bilal Khannous. Attack: Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, Ayoub El Kaabi, Ibrahim Diaz.

The Moroccan lineup balances defensive solidity with an aggressive attack led by Diaz and supported by a youthful midfield core.

Diaz could become a milestone-maker as he pushes to extend his scoring run in the AFCON final against Senegal.

The rotation and formation aim to keep Senegal’s threats in check while Morocco presses forward with pace and precision.

Two light punchlines to wrap things up: if Diaz starts collecting six different appearances, the trophy might file for a passport. and if Morocco wins, the bench might demand overtime pay for all the drama on display.
