Fifa Singles Out Mba’s Afcon Winner by Nobody: 3:48pm On Dec 30, 2013
The world football governing body has included the midfielder's goal as one of the 13 moments that
defined 2013


Sunday Mba’s lone strike
against the Stallions of
Burkina Faso in the 2013
Africa Cup of Nations final has been picked by Fifa as
one of the 13 breathtaking and unforgettable moments
over the course of 2013.
The world football governing body on their website
rated the goal as one of the unforgettable and
memorable moments of 2013.
“It was a goal worthy of winning any match,
and Sunday Mba’s CAF Africa Cup of Nations-winning
strike brought joy and relief to an entire nation,” wrote Fifa.com .
“Nigeria had not won a major trophy in 17 years going into the continental showpiece, but despite the best efforts of debutant finalists Burkina Faso, Mba's precise volley – after flicking the ball over his
opponent’s head – proved sufficient to secure the
African crown.”
Sunday Mba’s goal ended Nigeria’s 19-year wait for
the continental trophy since they last won it at the
1994 edition staged in Tunisia.
