The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) is set to kick off on 21st December 2025 in Morocco, running until 18 January 2026, and promises a thrilling spectacle of African football.

This edition of Africa’s premier international tournament features 24 national sides competing across multiple cities and world-class stadiums throughout the host nation.

Morocco, as hosts and one of the favourites, arrives with tremendous momentum, boasting an impressive winning streak and a passionate home support eager to claim a first AFCON title in nearly five decades.

The defending champions, Côte d’Ivoire, will also be in pursuit of back-to-back silverware, despite key injury setbacks.

Meanwhile, African heavyweights, including Egypt, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Algeria, bring rich histories and exciting squads teeming with promising talent and seasoned internationals.

In this AFCON data analysis, we will assess the title aspirations of these contenders, examining performance indicators, tactical strengths and key players likely to shape the outcome of AFCON 2025.

In modern football analysis, set-pieces are often framed as marginal gains and supplementary opportunities rather than primary attacking mechanisms.

Espanyol under Manolo González challenge this assumption.

Throughout the 2025/2026 season, corners have emerged not as occasional advantages but as a central component of their attacking identity.

Espanyol focus on creating high-quality scoring opportunities from organised set-plays, such as corners, instead of prioritising ball possession or taking numerous shots during regular gameplay.

The team’s success in this area, especially with centre-back Leandro Cabrera, demonstrates a well-coordinated system that relies on precise timing and space control rather than on chance.

In this Espanyol set-piece analysis, how Espanyol have transformed corner-kicks into a repeatable attacking weapon, focusing on their structural organisation, movement patterns, use of blocking and second phases, and why these mechanisms consistently destabilise defensive structures.
