Nicolas Jackson is making waves at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025.
The Bayern Munich striker scored a brace in Senegal’s 3-0 win over Botswana, putting him top of the scoring charts.
Jackson’s goals came in the 40th and 58th minutes, showcasing his clinical finishing and positioning on the pitch.
The first goal was a composed finish from a precise cross by Ismail Jakobs, while the second was a well-timed run and finish after a pass from Ismaila Sarr.
Senegal dominated possession throughout the match, but Botswana’s goalkeeper Goitseone Phoko made some impressive saves to keep the scoreline respectable.
Jackson’s performance has been impressive, considering he’s only scored one goal in his previous 20 games for Senegal before this tournament.
Cherif Ndiaye added a third goal for Senegal in stoppage time, securing a comfortable win for the 2021 champions.
