Africa-Press – Ghana. te in dangerous areas, opponents struggled to cope with Toko Ekambi’s movement and eye for goal, and his two-goal display against Gambia in the quarterfinals was among the best individual performances of the tournament.

Striker: Vincent Aboubakar (Cameroon)

Aboubakar claimed the AFCON Golden Boot having netted eight goals across seven appearances, scoring only one fewer than Zaire great Ndaye Mulamba bagged at the 1974 edition in Egypt.

He scored both goals in the 2-1 victory over Burkina Faso, grabbed another double as Ethiopia were thumped 4-1, and then got the opener against Cape Verde to round off a hot group stage.

He registered an assist and a winner as the goalkeeper-less Comoros were defeated 2-1 — an evening overshadowed by the Stade d’Olembe tragedy — although he misplaced his scoring boots when they were needed most, in the semifinal against Egypt.

Conceicao turned to him at the halfway point of the third-placed playoff, with Cameroon trailing 3-0, and Aboubakar produced a masterclass as he netted two more goals, and the opening penalty in the shootout, as the Indomitable Lions won the bronze medal.
