The host country secured their spot in the Africa Cup of Nations final by defeating DR Congo 1-0, courtesy of Sebastien Haller’s decisive goal.
Haller emerged as the hero in Wednesday’s semi-final, skillfully converting Nicolas Pepe’s cross to shatter Congolese hopes. His goal eliminated the Leopards, paving the way for an enticing showdown in Sunday’s final.
For Haller, facing Nigeria in a title match represents a remarkable turn of events, considering his journey from battling testicular cancer to becoming a key figure for the Elephants.
However, Nigeria promises to be a formidable opponent, especially with Haller’s former teammates eager for redemption.
