The Super Eagles of Nigeria have emerged the winners of the 2013 African Cup of Nations.
The Nigerian side defeated their Burkina Faso counterparts by a lone goal in the match played in South Africa.
Home boy and Warri Wolves striker, Sunday Mba, scored the only goal that separated the two sides.
The goal was scored in the 40th minute of the first half.
While the Super Eagles dominated the first half, the Burkinabes had the better possession in the second half.
Nigeria’s Head Coach, Stephen Keshi, had his heart in his mouth most part of the second half.
Though there were occasional incursions into the Burkinabe goal area, Keshi’s team could not make good use of the chances.
Keshi as a player won the Africa Cup of Nations in 1994 with the Super Eagles.
Burkina Faso’s Jonathan Pitroipa, was the man of the match in the final game of the pulsating tournament.
