Oh jeeze, goal for nigeria with a header from a corner. Totally against the run of play. That was their first effort on goal. 1-0.

[Ketchup2023]

Nigeria lead 1-0 at ht. The same score as when they beat ivory coast in the group phase.

[Ketchup2023]

Great block by the nigerian defender with the goalie stranded. It was a goal only for him.

[Ketchup2023]

Finally the hosts pressure pays off and kessie equalises. No more than they deserve. Now the home fans are happy and so is drogba. Can they go on and win it now.

Great overhead kick by haller but it goes wide. 15 mins left.

[Ketchup2023]

Sebastian haller doesn't miss this time or was it an own goal? No haller got a great touch to it. Ivory coast lead 2-1 with 8 mins left.

[Ketchup2023]

Its a fully deserved lead for the hosts. 17 shots to 3 and 8 to 1 on target. Surely they will win it now.

[Ketchup2023]

7 mins injury time. Can nigeria score and force et. It doesn't look like it.

Ivory Coast win 2-1 .
Congratulations to them.
After first couple of games I couldn’t see that happening.

[Ketchup2023]

Thats it, ivory coast are afcon champions. Well done to them. At the start of the tournament they didn't play well but they were far the better team tonight. So their name was on the cup. Delighted for sebastian haller, about 2 years ago he was diagnosed with cancer, tonight he scores the winning goal in afcon final.
