The Ivory Coast, as the host nation, became victorious in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Ivory Coast emerged victorious in the event by defeating Nigeria with a score of 2 - 1 at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Abidjan on Sunday, February 11th.

Sebastien Haller once again emerged as the savior for Ivory Coast, leading the Elephants to a victory in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations final against Nigeria on their own turf.

William Troost-Ekong scored for Nigeria only seven minutes before the conclusion of the first half. The center-back displayed superior aerial ability as he headed the ball into the net from a distance of nine yards from a corner kick.

Franck Kessie scored the equalizing goal in the 62nd minute by heading the ball into the net from Adingra's corner, taking advantage of being unguarded at the back post.

Sebastien Haller subsequently executed a flip with the tip of his boot to score from Simon Adingra's cross, securing a victory for his country after a comeback in the second half.
