The 2021 TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament is set to enter the final round of matches in the group stage with the second round of games concluded over the weekend.

Gradually, the continental tournament has taken shape and this week, several of the participating national teams will be eliminated.

Following the conclusion of the Round 2 of games in the group stage, Modernghana Sports partners SofaScore has finalised the Team of the Week featuring the exceptional performers.

The team made up of 11 players has Tunisia captain Wahbi Khazri as the star after toping with a near-perfect rating of 9.9.

The experienced attacker was in action for his team on Sunday and netted a brace to inspire the side to hammer Mauritania 4-0 in a Group F encounter.

Courtesy of his goal-scoring heroics, Wahbi Khazri leads the lines in the 2021 AFCON Round 2 Team alongside unstoppable hitman Vincent Aboubakar. The pair is joined by Cote d’Ivoire’s Nicolas Pepe on the right flank with Nigeria’s Moses Simon providing support with Karl Toko Ekambi.
