Indomitable Lions of Cameroon skipper, Vincent Aboubakar emerged top scorer of the just-ended 33rd edition of the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations competition held in Cameroon.

The Al Nassr forward scored 8 goals to power the host to a third place finish in the 2021 AFCON.

Aboubakar scored in his first four games in the event. The 2017 AFCON winner opened his goal account in the tournament with a brace against the Stallions of Burkina Faso in the opening game of the tournament.

He grabbed another brace in Cameroon’s 4-1 win over the Walia Antelopes of Ethiopia in the team’s second Group A fixture, before finding the back of the net again against Comoros Islands in the round of 16.

The ex-FC Porto man rounded off the race with a brace against Burkina Faso in the tournament’s third place game held at the Yaounde Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium last weekend.
