Heroic Haller!

What a fairy-tale story that is.

In July 2022 Sebastian Haller was diagnosed with testicular cancer, less than two years later he has scored the winner to make his country champions of Africa.

If was a deft flick at the near post, following excellent work by Simon Adingra, which ended up in the top right corner.

What a game, what a goal, what a story.

That is the beauty of the African Cup of Nations.

Nigeria 1-2 Ivory Coast

90+6. It’s lumped forward again and again by Nigeria, still to no avail.

They need to get their foot on the ball, but Ivory Coast are doing so well to prevent them from doing so.

Ivory Coast can sense it…
