Guinea has some great footballers, but one stands out for his unparalleled goal-scoring qualities – Serhou Guirassy.Borussia Dortmund’s brilliant striker missed the September meeting and the first two rounds of African Cup of Nations qualifiers due to a knee injury. Without him, Guinea lost to the DR Congo (0-1) and Tanzania (1-2), and found itself in a very challenging situation.##NAJAVA_MECA_8501760##However, Guirassy returned to the team in October and scored five goals in just two matches against Ethiopia (4-1, 3-0). All that in just 125 minutes on the pitch! Not only did Guinea return to the fight for the 2025 AFCON qualification, but Guirassy also became the top scorer of all the qualifiers (ahead of Brahim Diaz, Sadio Mane, and others).Tonight, the National Elephants play a crucial game at home against the group leaders DR Congo, and Guirassy will try to score a few more goals and secure his side’s trip to the continental showpiece in Morocco.AFCON2025Q: Morocco seal the home soil trophy hunt, Guirassy thrashes Ethiopia once againIf they don’t win, Guinea will have to play the do-or-die against Tanzania in the last round to decide who’ll advance to the AFCON. Tanzania are two points below and face Ethiopia in the opening game of the day. It’s quite easy to conclude who’ll be the favourite to grab all three points there.————-AFCONq TOP SCORERS1.
