Mohamed Amoura (Algeria)
If the Greens won their two matches, they owe it in part to the center-forward of Wolfsburg: author of a double Friday against Botswana (1-3), he delivered a recital on Tuesday against Mozambique (5-1), with three goals scored and a decisive pass for Jaouen Hadjam. Flying and in all the good shots, he has, in particular, well combined with Riyad Mahrez to bring the danger. “We know his qualities and try to use them: it is fast!” We try everyone to complete, “said his captain about him after the last meeting.
Yahia Fofana (Ivory Coast)
The elephants took control of group F thanks to two short 1-0 victories on Burundi and Gambia which underline their defensive solidity when the attackers do the minimum service. The African champions have still not conceded a goal in these qualifications and the merit returns as much to their defense of iron as in their final platinum rampart, Yahia Fofana. The porter of Angers SCO notably carried out two decisive interventions against the Gambians: a superb outing in the feet of Omar Collene and a stop on a strike from Alassana Jatta at the end of the game to seal the result.
Lyle Foster (South Africa)
The Burnley attacker unlocked his counter in these qualifiers during 2-0 success against Benin to allow the Bafana Bafana to widen the gap at the head of group C. Unhappy against the Lesotho in a 2-0 success, four days earlier, with a strike that had hit the post, before being diverted by the back of the goalkeeper on the other post, Foster had more success (2-0 victory). On a center of basidan fawaaz, his recovery this time slipped between the porter’s legs, before bouncing on the post and dying behind the line. Proof that the big players know how to run the chance.
Lassina Traoré (Burkina Faso)
The Burkinabè won their two matches in this international window to go back to second place in group A, behind the Egyptian locomotive, and the credit is partly returned to Lassiné Traoré. The Shakhtar Donetsk center forward now has six goals in six matches in these qualifiers. The attacker started with a decisive pass and a recovery at close range on a center of Dango Ouattara against Djibouti (4-1), before chaining with a double against Guinea-Bissau, a cross shot and a powerful head on a free kick stored by Adamo Nagalo.
Bryan Mbeumo (Cameroon)
The striker has a full season in the Premier League, where he totaled 15 goals and five assists in the Brentford FC jersey: he is the second most decisive African player in the English championship, behind the inevitable Mo Salah. In recent days, the player has remained on very interesting bases during the two matches of the Indomitable Lions. Like his team, he trampled up a bit against Eswatini (0-0), even if he found the transversal. Faced with Libya (3-1), the former Trojan offered very many forward races: tireless, just in his dribbles, he was the number one danger and looks like the perfect lieutenant for the veteran Vincent Aboubakar, which he served as a backward pass in the surface to offer him a double. Eight minutes earlier, Mbeumo had offered a winning rush concluded from the left.
Denis Bouanga (Gabon)
Gabon continues its solid course in these qualifiers by continuing to put pressure on Côte d’Ivoire, leader of the F group, with a single point ahead of the teammates of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The latter was in sight, as was his offensive teammate Denis Bouanga: the attacker first scored a double against the Seychelles (3-0), of the right after being launched in depth, then in two stages on a distant center which he also celebrated by a salto. The Los Angeles FC scorer continued to weigh against Kenya (1-2), even if he was less successful, including a powerful strike on the post.
