Sebastian Haller was the hero as Ivory Coast came from behind to beat Nigeria 2-1 and claim their third Africa Cup of Nations title.

The host nation delighted their fans in Abidjan with Haller completing a wonderful turnaround as he volleyed home the winner nine minutes from time after Franck Kessie cancelled out William Troost-Ekong’s first-half header.

Ivory Coast started brightly and created the better first-half chances with Max Gradel and Simon Adingra going close.

However, it was Nigeria who took the lead seven minutes before the break, when Troost-Ekong nodded home his third goal of the tournament.

The Super Eagles were unbeaten in their previous 22 matches in the competition when scoring first. Although, the hosts hit back just after the hour mark as Kessie nodded in Adringa’s corner.

Adingra was involved again as the Elephants snatched a dramatic winner in the 81st minute; the Brighton and Hove Albion winger crossing for Haller to prod past Stanley Nwabali at the near post.

Nigeria 1-2 Ivory Coast

Ivory Coast win the Africa Cup of Nations!

That is how long Nigeria have to find the most dramatic of equalisers and force extra-time.

Can they do it?

We are into seven additional minutes at the end of this game.

Nigeria are pressing for the leveller and Ivory Coast have pretty much everyone back.

Aina takes one for the team.

After dealing with Nigeria's free-kick, Ivory Coast had the chance to break and the full-back felt he could not allow that to potentially happen.

The hosts respond in a similar manner.

Seko Fofana and Haller are given breathers with Sangare and Krasso introduced.

Nigeria make their final two changes with Moffi and Aribo entering the action for the final two minutes.

Onyeka and Sanusi are the players to make way.

Nigeria look to respond and force a dramatic equaliser.

However, a corner from the right flag is overhit and goes behind for a goal kick.

When you think of everything Haller has been through in recent years, how fitting what it be for him to score the goal that secures glory for his nation?

The hosts take the lead and complete the turnaround!

Ivory Coast hold the advantage that their positive second-half performance deserves.

Adingra is the provider again as he takes on his marker down the left flank before delivering a cross to the near post, where Haller beats his man to poke the ball past Nwabali.

Nigeria make two more changes with Yusuf and Iheanacho coming on in place of Iwobi and Lookman.

Both sides have another breather and the coaches have the opportunity to deliver what could be crucial words of wisdom.

The hosts have their tails up and push for the lead.

A cross towards the far post is cushioned back into the danger area by Adingra for Haller, whose spectacular overhead kick goes not far wide of the target.

It was certainly worth a go!

Not since a 3-1 defeat by Egypt in 2010 have Nigeria lost an Africa Cup of Nations match when scoring first.

Although, that 22-match unbeaten streak is under threat at the moment with their opponents on top.

Ivory Coast make two substitutions as Aurier and Gradel make way to be replaced by Singo and Diakite.

Nigeria look to edge their noses back in front from a free-kick.

Lookman swings the ball in from the left flank and Troost-Ekong has a free header, but cannot keep it down.

And as we head there, this match is very finely poised.

Will a third goal be decisive? If so, who will get it?

The host nation are level as they make their pressure tell!

Adingra swings an inviting corner to the far post, where Kessie climbs to head past Nwabali from just outside the six-yard box.
