NIGERIA HAVE WON THE AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS! It's a third victory in the tournament for the Super Eagles, with Sunday Mba's goal the decider! Heartbreak for Burkina Faso, but absolute delight for Nigeria - and Enyeama celebrates the whistle by trying to lift the referee into the air!
90'+4
That will be the match - just seconds left now...
90'+3
Dagano takes it - but he's blasted it over. He simply HAD to at leat hit the target there, and he he furious with himself.

Goal hero Mba comes off, Yobo on for Nigeria.
88'
Nakoulma caught offside once more as he gets onto another overhit Kabore free kick - dead ball delivery has been very poor tonight for the underdogs.

Another let-off for Burkina Faso as Onzai's great cross from the left finds Ideye in the six-yard box - but he's unable to guide it past Diakite and it's off for a goal kick.

How did Nigeria not score there? A comedy of errors between four defenders and the keeper sees both Moses and Ideye with chances to poke the loose ball home, but neither gets to it.
85'
Free kick for Burkina Faso on the left - woefully overhit by Kabore and straight off. Time running out fast.

Dagano comes on to try and spice up Burkina Faso's attack - Koulibaly makes way for him.
82'
Mikel and Ideye stand over it... Ideye takes, but it's wasted, floated well over the goal.
81'
Free kick to Nigeria just outside the box as Koulibaly backs into Ideye.
80'
Nigeria come up on the counter and Mba has a go from 30 yards - miles wide and right.
79'
Increasing sense of desperation from Burkina Faso in their attempts to get back into the match - they won't go down without a fight.
78'
Nakoulma five yards offside making a run there - that's just not helping anyone. Unless they're Nigerian.
77'
Pitroipa loses the ball while trying an inside-of-the-right-heel flick - still with the tricks even with 13 minutes left of the tournament.
75'
Game really opening up now... A second goal seems almost certain, though there's no telling who will get it.

Burkina Faso charge straight up the other end - and so close to an equaliser! The two quick counter attacks leave Nigeria open at the back, and Sanou cuts in from the right to shoot. Clean effort straight at the bottom left corner, but palmed around the post by Enyeama! Stunning save!
