Al Nassr will definitely be banging on the striker to replicate that his outstanding performance for his club who have a crucial League game this Friday.
In 15 appearances for the League this season, Vincent Aboubakar has found the back of the net six times and has also provided three assist in the process. in all appearances, he has featured 18 times with seven goals scored.
It was a terrific Africa Cup of Nations for Aboubakar, a player that scored just one goal at the 2017 AFCON and failed to score at the 2019 AFCON. His goal scoring boots were definitely on this year as he went on to score eight goals in the entire competition, almost single-handedly dragging his side to third place.
Cameroon was looking at finishing fourth with the third place match going in favour of Burkina Faso, a team Cameroon had won on the opening day 2-1.
Affectionately known to many Cameroonians as “Abou-bae”, Vincent Aboubakar was brought in at the second half and completely turn the game on his head scoring two successive goals to send the encounter to penalty shootouts which the Indomitable Lions went on to win.
