A defeat suffered in a comeback, the most burning of situations. Victor Osimhen and Nigeria collapse at the most beautiful moment, in the final of the Africa Cup, and leave the trophy when they were just a step away. The goals of Kessie and especially Haller, the Borussia Dortmund's striker worth the cup, decided the match for the hosts in the second half.
Yet it was Nigeria who had been dreaming of success: the Nigerians had taken the lead with Troost-Ekong's goal in the first half to lead the Eagles, once again carried by Osimhen.
The Napoli striker still misses the goal appointment but helps his teammates. In the end, however, he can do little: the forcing is not enough and Haller's goal at minute 81 remains decisive. The biggest disappointment for the 'blue' who is now expected in Napoli.
