Ivory Coast wins its CAN by overthrowing Nigeria in the final. The Elephants were trailing but found the resources to equalize and then overthrow the Super Eagles.
Trust-Ekoong opened the score for Nigeria against the run of play. William Troost-Ekong became the most prolific defender in the history of the competition with five goals. Ivory Coast has broken the curse of the host country, 18 years after Egypt, the last nation to have offered this gift to its fans.
