African Giant
Nigeria secured their third African Nations cup triumph beating giantkiller
Burkina Faso in the final of the tournament by 1-0 margin at Soccer City
stadium, Johannesburg yesterday. Sunday MBA scored the decider in the 40th
minute of the game.

It was a win that was fully deserved as
Nigeria comfortably beat a tired-looking Burkina Faso, who struggled to make an
impact in their maiden final appearance.
In contrast, Nigeria's Mba produced a
moment of sheer brilliance to break the deadlock just before half-time.

Burkina Faso would have its chances. A Wilfried Sanou shot was be
nicked just wide by Nigerian keeper Vincent Enyeama, keeping the Super
Eagles in the lead.
Emmanuel Emenike of Nigeria won the Golden
Boot as the tournament's top scorer, while Burkina Faso's Jonathan Pitroipa won
the Orange Man of the Competition.
