FIFA have picked Sunday Mba’s winning goal in the final of AFCON 2013 as one of the 13 moments that defined 2013.
The world football governing body on their website rated the goal as one of the unforgettable and
memorable moments of 2013.
It was a goal worthy of winning any match, and Sunday Mba’s CAF Africa Cup of Nations-winning strike brought joy and relief to an entire nation.
Nigeria had not won a major trophy in 17 years going into the continental showpiece, but despite
the best efforts of debutant finalists Burkina Faso,
Mba’s precise volley – after flicking the ball over his opponent’s head – proved sufficient to secure the African crown.
