Cameroon star Vincent Aboubakar has edged closer to equalling Benni McCarthy's goalscoring feat at the Africa Cup of Nations after netting the winner against Comoros on Monday night.
Cameroon captain Vincent Aboubakar scored his fifth goal of the Africa Cup of Nations and his already-qualified side were joined by Burkina Faso on Mo.
The Saudi Arabia-based forward, who turns 30 on Saturday, put Cameroon ahead and substitute Garry Rodrigues equalised for Cape Verde after half-time in a 1-1 draw in Yaounde.
Considering his and Cameroon’s current form, Vincent Aboubakar has a great chance of matching or surpassing a 48-year-old Africa Cup of Nations record.
DR Congo played in the Africa Cup of Nations under a number of different names, including Congo-Leopoldville, Congo-Kinshasa, Zaire and DR Congo. The Leopards have managed to win the title twice, in 1968 (as Congo-Kinshasa) and 1974 (as Zaire).
