Berahino vs. Aubameyang: Destinies collide in Afcon qualifier

The two strikers have taken very different routes to Saturday's do-or-die showdown between Burundi and Gabon

When Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang won the 2016-17 Bundesliga top scorer award, Saido Berahino was in the midst of an infamous goalscoring drought that would extend over 40 hours of playing time.

After finding the net against Crystal Palace in February 2016, during the dying embers of his West Bromwich Albion career, Berahino would go 913 days without scoring again.

He eventually ended his drought in August 2018—bagging against Huddersfield Town in a Carabao Cup clash.
