The 2000 African Cup of Nations Final was a football match that took place on 13 February 2000 at the Lagos National Stadium in Lagos, Nigeria, to determine the winner of the 2000 African Cup of Nations, the football championship of Africa organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

Cameroon won the title for the third time[1] by beating Nigeria 4–3 on penalties.[2]

Summary

[edit]

The first goal was scored after a foul on Patrick M'Boma which led to a free kick that was capitalised by Samuel Eto'o in the 26th minute. In the 31st minute, M'Boma capitalized on a through pass from Eto'o to double the lead, nutmegging Ike Shorunmu in the process.

Cameroon continued to press for most of the first half and hit the post on one occasion. Striker Raphael Chukwu placed a low level shot at the back of the net to reduce the deficit to one before halftime. Then, Jay-Jay Okocha scored a long range shot to level the scoreline. Eto'o attempted to put Cameroon ahead again, but his shot hit the post. Substitute Tijani Babangida had a finely-placed shot on target which was saved by Boukar Alioum. Victor Ikpeba had a long range header go off target. The game was eventually decided on penalties with Cameroon emerging victorious.[3]
