Several players stood out during the first two matchdays of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, including some for their successful dribbles. Here are the six best dribblers, led by the duo of Omar Marmoush and Yan Diomande.

Omar Marmoush (Egypt)

In the absence of Mohamed Salah, Omar Marmoush made the most of this September international break to establish himself as the Pharaohs' leader. The Spurs winger scored a brace against South Sudan, but he also stood out in another area during this break, completing 12 dribbles.

Yan Diomande (Côte d'Ivoire)

Real Madrid's most expensive signing also completed 12 successful dribbles, just like Marmoush. Although he did not score, he was useful in the Ivory Coast team's attacking phases under Hervé Renard against Ghana and Somalia.

Ibrahim Maza (Algeria)

Initially outstanding against Zambia (3-1), with a goal and an assist, Ibrahim Maza did not put in a good performance against Burundi (2-2). The young Borussia Dortmund winger is among the best dribblers in the qualifiers, with 8 successful dribbles.

Jean Claude Girumugisha (Burundi)

The Al-Ahli Tripoli player, who scored against Algeria, caused problems for the Fennecs, and before them for Togo's Sparrowhawks, with his dribbling ability. He has completed 8 dribbles in two appearances.

Mohamed Belloumi (Algeria)

In addition to Maza, another Algerian stood out with his dribbling: Belloumi. The winger, who is shining with Hull City in the Premier League, has completed 8 successful dribbles in 2 matches. He found the net against the Swallows.

Hamdou Elhouni (Libya)

The former Espérance Sportive de Tunis player was one of Libya's best performers, completing 8 dribbles despite two disappointing results: a draw against Botswana (2-2) and a defeat to Uganda (1-0).
