Ivory Coast: Simon Adingra set up two goals as host country Ivory Coast come from behind to beat Nigeria 2-1 to win the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title.

Adingra assisted Franck Kessie to make it 1-1 in the second half before racing to the byline and crossing for Sebastien Haller to score and give Ivory Coast their third AFCON title, and first since 2015 on Sunday night.

Haller proved the hero, scoring the decisive goal as Ivory Coast completed a sensational comeback. The hosts looked doomed after William Troost-Ekong's first half opener for Nigeria in Abidjan.
