Morocco's Ghizlane Chebbak and Senegal's Nguenar Ndiaye lead the scoring chart with four goals apiece, setting the stage for a thrilling battle for top scorer honors as the tournament heads into the knockout rounds.

Chebbak, the Atlas Lionesses' captain and Golden Boot winner in the 2022 edition, struck four times in just two games, including a hat-trick against the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) (4-2), reaffirming her status as a vital offensive leader for Morocco.

Matching her stride for stride is Ndiaye, whose clinical consistency has been key for Senegal. The striker bagged braces in both the 3-2 loss to Zambia and the emphatic 4-0 victory over DRC, showing a sharp eye for goal in high-stakes encounters.
