NIGERIA WIN NATIONS CUP 2013 AFCON
Nigeria beats Burkina Faso 1-0, wins 3rd Nations Cup title.
Nigeria midfielder Sunday Mba's 40th minute goal made the difference needed for Nigeria to beat Burkina Faso and lift its third Nations Cup title at the 2013 tournament in South Africa. Nigeria had won Africa's top football tournament in 1980 and 1994.
Burkina Faso, playing its first-ever final, fought back strongly after the goal, but never managed to equalise. By the win, Nigeria's coach Stephen Keshi has made history by becoming only the second man in history to lift the trophy as a player and a coach, after Mohamed El Gohary of Egypt.Keshi captained the Super Eagles team that won the trophy in 1994.
SUNDAY MBA...scorer of the goal.
