Ivory Coast won their third Africa Cup of Nations after edging out Nigeria in Sundayās final.
Scorers: Troost-Ekong 38ā², KessiĆ© 62ā², Haller 81ā²
William Troost-Ekong silenced the partisan crowd at EbimpĆ©ās Olympic Stadium by opening the scoring with heading home late in the first half.
But Franck KessiĆ© pulled the hosts level shortly after the hour mark through a downward header from Simon Adingraās corner.
SĆ©bastien Haller snatched the spoils just nine minutes from time as he met another Adingra delivery with an outstretched leg in the penalty area.
The Elephants changed head coaches midway through the tournament as Emerse FaƩ replaced Jean-Louis Gasset following a poor group stage performance.
