After a beautiful closing ceremony with performances from
some of Africa’s biggest musicians, Nigeria faced Burkina Faso in the AFCON
final to see who the best team in the continent is. The match was well attended
as all the tickets to the 94 000 seat National Stadium were sold out. The
Nigerian supporters outnumbered the Burkina Faso supporters but there were many
South Africans in the Stadium supporting the under dogs, there were even some
Ethiopian fans in attendance.
Nigeria v Burkina
Faso Result
Nigerian dominated the first half and was rewarded when
Sunday Mba scored late in the first half. The Burkina Faso that was playing in
the first half was not the Burkina Faso that we have seen throughout the
tournament. In the second half Nigeria continued to dominate the match and
missed many opportunities to seal the match. Burkina Faso began to play well
and made moves forward but to no avail. They continued attacking in the dying
stages on the match but it was too little too late. Sunday Mba’s goal was enough
to win Nigeria the AFCON on this day, the 10th of February on a
Sunday.
