The Super Eagles of Nigeria meet hosts Ivory Coast’s Elephant in the Africa Cup of Nations final at the Olympic Stadium of Ebimpé.
Kelechi Iheanacho scored the winning spot-kick to put Nigeria within touching distance of a fourth continental crown and first since 2013, though 1992 and 2015 champions Ivory Coast have been on quite the journey themselves over recent weeks.
The hosts sacked their manager Jean-Louis Gasset after a disastrous 4-0 defeat by Equatorial Guinea that looked to have ended their campaign at the group stage, but they squeezed through as a best third-place team before knocking out holders Senegal and then Mali.
Nigeria XI: Nwabali, Ekong, Ajayi, Bassey, Zaidu, Oneyka, Iwobi, Aina, Lookman, Chukwueze, Osimhen.
Ivory Coast XI: Y. Fofana; Aurier, Kossounou, Ndicka, Konan; Michael Seri, Kessie, S. Fofana; Gradel, Adingra, Haller.
Sebastien Haller scored the only goal of the game as Ivory Coast edged out DR Congo in the second last-four meeting on Wednesday night.
