Mba's wondergoal wins trophy for Nigeria

Nigeria1 - 0Burkina Faso

Nigeria won the African Cup of Nations thanks to a fabulous goal from Sunday Mba to give the Super Eagles a 1-0 win over Burkina Faso at Soccer City in Johannesburg.

It was a thoroughly deserved third African crown for Nigeria, who dominated the game throughout and could have had several more goals were it not for some sloppy finishing.
But Mba's splendid goal - which involved a magnificent bit of ball juggling - proved enough for them, though Burkina Faso leave South Africa with their heads held high after a wonderful run to the final.
The night belonged to Nigeria, however, with manager Stephen Keshi becoming the first man to win the tournament as both player and coach.
The two sides had met in their opening match of the tournament, with Burkina Faso grabbing a draw in injury time that ultimately saw them top the group - and Nigeria started as if they meant to make amends for that surprise stalemate.
