Ivory Coast Pips Nigeria To Lift 4th AFCON Trophy
Ivory Coast again came from behind to beat Nigeria and win the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final on home soil through a heroic stunner from star striker Sebastien Haller. The Elephant’s striker, who had also netted the semi-final winner just 13 months on from his return from testicular cancer, flicked in Simon Adingra’s cross with the toe of his boot with nine minutes remaining to complete a second-half comeback and spark wild celebrations in Abidjan.
