Nigeria's coach Stephen Keshi makes history!

History is made tonight as Nigeria wins African Cup of Nations for the third time by beating Burkina faso 1-0, and Keshi wins the cup both as a player and a coach! Sunday Mba's 40th minute goal was all Nigeria needed Sunday to beat Burkina Faso and lift its

third Nations Cup title at the 2013 tournament in South Africa. 

  Burkina Faso, playing its first-ever final, fought back strongly after the goal, but never managed to equalise.

The Super Eagles celebrated the the win with a victory lap around the pitch.

Nigeria won Africa's top football tournament in 1980 and 1994, but the country's soccer fortunes have since dipped, until the latest victory.

By the win, Nigeria's coach Stephen Keshi has made history by becoming only the second man in history to lift the trophy as a player and a coach, after Mohamed El Gohary of Egypt.

Keshi captained the Super Eagles team that won the trophy in 1994.
