The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations came to an end as Ivory Coast came from behind to beat Nigeria 2-1 in the final.
Nigeria had edged past South Africa on penalties at the end of a dramatic 120 minutes to keep their AFCON dream alive, and they went into the final as slight favourites.
The Super Eagles took on hosts Ivory Coast - who edged past DR Congo - and the Elephants delivered in front of their home fans, thanks to goals from Franck Kessie and Sebastien Haller.
