The 2013 edition of the African Cup of Nations which started with clearly no hope or expectations from Nigerian about the performance of the Super Eagles turned out to be the year of success for the team as it came out of the competition victorious.
The Eagles faced the Stallion of Burkina Faso in a match which showed all the trappings of candour, technical, tactical play.
Both teams sized themselves up in the opening minutes of the match with Victor Moses and Ike Uche making forays into the Burkina Faso half of the pitch but with no luck.
Luck, however, smiled on the Nigerian team when Steven Mba of Warri Wolves, in a moment of individual brilliance stepped up to the plate and scored a spectacular goal after beating two Burkina Faso players to put the Eagles one up.
The result ended a wait of 19 years for the Super Eagles to be reunited with the trophy that means so much to Nigerians worldwide. Only time will tell if the generation of 2013 can emulate the past vintages beyond this tournament, however, with a young squad, including superstars such as Moses, Mikel, and Musa, as well as the rawer talents of Mba, Oboabona, and Omeruo, the future looks very promising indeed.
