As an algerian and a big fan of football I consider this match as the best final of all times. Well done to both nations for this exceptional performance.
I remember this day. It was a Sunday. I was 9 years old. I wanted to watch it so bad but had to attend house fellowship. I kept track of how Nigeria was doing by the screams I heard . When Nigeria scored the neighborhood was ecstatic. I knew Nigeria had lost when it was really quiet after house fellowship. It was a great day
That mean your were born 1991
This was a stellar match, great generation of African footballers..
I loved this generation of players from both teams.
I can't imagine I watched this game 20 years ago..and cried like a baby
Me too .. I watched this in the stadium with my dad ... I was kind of furious with that olodo Tunisian referee Mourad Daami ...
Nigeria 🇳🇬 won this match but the referee messed things up for us. Thank God for Goal-line technology. I was in Kaduna that year and it was sad to see us lose on our home soil. God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬 God bless Africa 💖
Ikpepa's goal should have been validated ,it was an error due to the lack of VAR
How can you say that
The good old days!!!
Life comes at us so fast!
Each year brings us farther from our joyful and innocent youth and closer to the stressful and responsability-burdened adulthood. Only moments like this let us wander away from the harsh realities of this world...
I was in the stadium live that day watching this game. Lagos fans were devastated that day after the game. It was a great loss. I saw Etoo live then. It was a miracle 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
CAMEROON!!!!! I will never forget that day! Good times!!
cameroon will forever be de best in Africa and will be de first African nation to play de fifa world cup final
Dream On!
05-02-2020 do you want to reconsider what you typed sir?
Not with your current political situation
Eto‘o, Okocha, Kanu, Geremi, Song, Mboma, Oliseh etc. This game was full of great players
Still remember both teams squads with love from Egypt ❤
despite losing to cameroun, i was so proud of them. those boys were d.best. they had the hunger n desire for the game. unlike the super chickens of.nowadays.
this generation footballers played with passion, zeal and love for their country, its not nowadays football who think football has become a fashion game, jay jay okocha is one xtra ordinary player that worth to be among the ten best players of football history cos he gave all his best weda at clu level or national level. he's just a fantastic african maradonna
Ejike Emmanuel. now it's more about money. there are a lot of players who wouldn't play for their home country team.
You need talent outside all you mentioned.. There has been a nose dive since..
That is true... I agree with you
what about Samuel Etoo fils who is the king of African football
My brother Money is controlling everything now.
IT WAS PAINFUL FOR EVERY ONE IN UGANDA ESPECIALLY IN THE CAPITAL KAMPALA. biggest supporters for nigeria was uganda because we never saw our team play in the tournament
I remember being so upset as a kid that Victor Ikpeba's penalty was not counted as a goal. I even cried, lol. I don't think I understood at the time that the keeper should not have moved how he did for Kanu's penalty.
Meilleure finale de Coupe d'Afrique
MEKKANIMAT MEK31 évidemment
La meilleur était pas en 2002?
Rigobert Song=Legend
We didn't lose without a fight up Nigeria,congratulations to our brothers Cameroon the game was great♥️
I want to sincerely thank Nigeria for gifting us 3 Afcon cups. Love from Cameroon.
@Reply 24Hrs yh Nigeria is a developed country, the last time I checked...

that blind referee didn't see Nigeria penalty shot that crossed the line !! such a mistake !!
I tell u. I watcher this match.. It was shameful officiating. The ball clearly crossed the line.
Even Kanu's penalty should have been retaken because the keeper was off his line.
That decision still infuriates me to this day ... Especially even when I could see that it had clearly crossed the line from where I was sitting in the stadium ...
Unbelievable match!!!
Best final of all african nation cup.
This game still fills me with raw emotion. Cameroon came to rob us in broad daylight at the National stadium.
The goalie was yards of the line for Kanu miss and Ikpeba's clearly crossed the line.
The closest I came to crying because of football.
Nigeria goal keeper cost nigeria this match outside penalty crossing the line..
I am from Cameroon I confirm this match was not easy.
I cried actually
هذا النهائي هو بدون تعقيد اقوى نهائي لكأس أمم إفريقيا على الاطلاق بين أفضل جيلين الكاميرون و نيجيريا. نهائي اسطوري بأتم معنى الكلمة.
2019 and I don't know how I found myself here. Good good players.
the most beautiful thing about Africa football is the lovely crowds in the stadium
It was my first ever afcon i watched
I was 9 and i suppored my nation which is Morocco
But i was a big fan of the Cameroon team
What a lovely days 😢
Dos grandes equipos!!! okocha, oliseh, mboma, etto... great players
Cameroon is bigger than Nigeria football wise
Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana etc are all good teams. Their players have done well in Europe and had great careers, but still no African team has won the World Cup. That's what i want to see, an African team win the world cup (especially a Sub-Saharan team) There is no point of the teams fans arguing among themselves.
The year 2000 CAN's final remains the toughest and the best!
On ne parle pas souvent dalioum boukar. Jusqua present nous n'avons pas trouver son remplaçant
If it’s today with VAR, Cameroon definitely won’t win.
Why
Patrick mboma 🔥🔥🔥🔥
i remember this game, i was a little boy back then...remember taxis running riot down the street blaring their horns after we won...good old days these were
victor ikpeba penalty kick was A CAPITAL LETTER GOAL
But the nigga should have celebrated his goal not denying himself
I can still recall. It was on a Sunday.Nigeria leveled back from 2 goals down.The Super Eagles didn't start well and the Nigerian defence struggled with the skills & pace of Mboma & Eto'o.And the Tunisia referee added salt to injury by disallowing Ikpeba's Penalty goal.All these resulted in Nigeria's defeat.It was so painful
The best squad for both teams in Africa football history.
omo mehn this game brings back so many good memories ... i remember the day i watched this game. it was on a sunday afternoon ... i was in boarding school in ibadan at the time. i almost cried after we were effectively robbed of the shootout.
Robbed? Cameroun won fair and square dominated that game.
Bonfrere's selection was faulty for the match
The attack had no pace. Babangida and/or Aghahowa should have started, considering their exceptional performance in the semis
Imagine the Okocha chance early on, there was no fast striker to back him up.
I agree with you.
While agree with you but I want you to know some games are like that. Those players were introduced in the second half, weren't they. They actually lost because of the controversial penalty decision of the referee. To come back from two goals down against a very formidable Cameroonian side was not easy. When same feature was repeated in 2004, they lost to Nigeria.
@Geobrume.
Thanks for the response.
I remember the match and it's background all too well.
Raphaël Chukwu scored à brillant goal à min to the end of the first half but wasn't even allowed to start the 2nd, showing even Bonfrere knew he got it wrong.
Yes, those 2 players were introduced in the 2nd half and the Eagles were much better, more dynamic.
Case in point, Cameroon played a 3-5-2 formation with Étamé Mayer (later known as Lauren in Arsenal) and Geremi attacking/defending from the right.
When Babangida came in, his pace troubled the Cameroonians so much, Étamé Mayer had to be drafted to the left track him which nullified the Lions as an attacking threat in the right midfield
This was one of the most controversial finals. In the penalty shoot out, the ball was well off the line when Victor Ikpeba took his own but the referee failed to accept it. Super Eagles were robbed
Ikpeba himself messed up by putting his Hands on his head as to say ooh I missed, this singular act also made the officials make their decisions easily. A wise n smart player would have protested to the officials but he didn't.
@@iwunzechukwunonso4898 yes, he mess up, we would have won that cup and even his fellow players didn't protest
@@iwunzechukwunonso4898 it doesn't mean it's the work of the referee to make sure things go in order. Even if they protested the ref won't have given it. Isa hayatou made sure it came to Cameroon. That man is one of the reasons African football is not growing and now we have another stupid South Caf president who is just like Isa Hayatou
Isa hayatou
Always complaining when defeated. CAF is not corrupt like you leaders
Great final :)
Love Cameroun
Will never forget this game.
That Ikpeba’s penalty was a goal !
Greatest win in Cameroon football defeating our biggest African rival on home soil, second only to Cameroon vs Argentina
من اروع المباريات التي شاهدتها ...تحية من المغرب
Who's here before Nigeria vs Cameroon in the AFCON last 16
Sean ochaigha . Me
Me 😂
Men I remembered watching this game at the stadium, it was wonderful game and I remembered Kanu losing a penalty and Daniel Amokachi cursing him out. The guy was so pissed.
Please. Can you remember the female artist that performed at either the opening or closing ceremony? I know Chaka Chaka Performed
Africa foot ball league was something else. Africa 🌍 had to be defined as a football continent at this era
what a goal from Jay jay..damn that guy was the best while he played
watched dis game when i was 7.....still that okocha goal is great
Wow!Final played by amazing stars.
ذكريات لاتنسى
مباراة مثيرة
انا من محبي منتخب الكاميرون
كنت طفل هالايام
اعصااابي على نار كانت
Cameroon 'supremacy in AFCON
nice video...big ups nw
I have this full match on VHS, would anyone like me to upload this onto youtube?
jibstar upload please
Thanks sir
Ikpeba scored and the linesman said itbwas nit a goal. Too sad! WHAT A CLEAR GOAL.
Came in from the future😂… It’s nice beating y’all today
Do realize when we won Nigeria in 2000 we got a title? 😂 😂. Three times. You won cameroon and have no title. Even in the past when Nigeria eliminates Cameroon, Nigeria eventually gets eliminated and leave the tournament with no title. 😂. It feels good to win your strong rival tho. I feel you.
🌚🌚🌚
I’ll be back on Sunday 🙄
Hope you are back.😂😂😂. Only God knows when you will have another title. Congrats tho. It was a tough tournament..
@@yannickndouanla586I’m back 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It was so sadddd 😅
It shall be well brother. You already have a good team, just a little adjustments. Next afcon no far.
jay jay okocha -- god of football.
I miss those days
Even without VAR,Ikpeba obviously scored his penalty.That day was Hayatou's birthday and he already demanded for a birthday gift.So,the robbery doesn't come as a surprise but it's so sad for African football.
That Okocha's goal was ...., Nigerian football can't get this far again, not the way we are running it, painful, so painful, after that Year Nigeria football was murdered, never to be seen again gloriously
And here we are in 2024!! At the finals again!!!!!!
Cameroon was one scary team back then, i hated this game so much
Naija Okocha goal was the highlight of the final
Talents natural talents
Best of okocha
Jay jay okocha, is the best👌
Un des plus match
Yes please
Why are Nigerians getting mad for .? Cameroon had more victories over Nigerian and has always dominated them. Cameroon has more world and african titles than Nigeria. Nigeria has never reach World Cup quarter finals which Cameroon was the first african nation to do so . Cameroon as the best strikers of the history of African football like roger milla and Samuel eto'o
Landry Balbin George weah is the greatest African striker ever
And yekini.. Is not
Well said brother. Respect to Nigerian team as well.
@@obinnawilliams9627 no brother... Eto’o presently is
I remember how I wept like a little baby after Nigeria lost this match
Even though Cameroon has won the title more times than Nigeria (4 vs 2), Nigeria has shown somewhat of a better performance, reaching the semis every single time since 92, the exception being 96 when they boycotted South Africa.
@Bolzovfire
you're so right
If var was around on this match, cameron may not have won coz that penalty by victor ikpaba was a goal
Even Kanu's penalty should have been retaken. The keeper was miles off his line
True I am a Cameroonian and Ikpaba's penalty was a goal. But he deliberately denied himself the goal afyer holding his head he too wasn't sure. Had it been he jubilated, the referee would have had a change of mind. However it was a beautiful game regardless that's the reason why there is VAR today
@purple883:Are u a Cameroonia?
We got robbed.
I had to watch this today we are playing tunisia in 3rd place game in AFCON 2019
@ Landry Balbin well you have to do a little fact checking. Nigeria did beat Cameroon as recently as 2004 in Tunisia at the quarter final. Also back in 92 in Senegal at the third position game. Granted Cameroon has beaten Nigeria at more important games, you can't deny Nigeria their moments. And btw I'm Cameroonian.
Top level football in Africa
Ikpeba himself messed up by putting his Hands on his head as to say ooh I missed, this singular act also made the officials make their decisions easily. A wise n smart player would have protested to the officials but he didn't.
this was the last great african cup
2 out of the 3 games that Cameroon beat Nigeria in the finals were controversial. Ikpebas denied penalty in the above video was clearly a goal. Also in the final of 84, Nigeria opened the score and the clear goal was ruled an offside. I'm paysant but I'm just being objective.
Ikpeba penalty was a goal, I wish VAR was available then
Life before VAR (3-4). With VAR (4-4) on these penalty shootouts
these 2 teamz r da only 2 african teams tht can beat world chapions
le cameroun a tous gagné
allez les lions
@deepbg1 Nigeria did beat Cameroon in the quarter final of 2004. Also way back in 92 in Senegal, Nigeria beat Cameroon at the 3rd position game.
The referee didn't see Victor's penalty because the floor lights were blurry that night.
HA LA BELLE ÉPOQUE
Who is here in 2022...i rem as a kid crying for nigeria and mostly wen victor ikpeba's penalty wasnt awarded us in uganda where behind nija that day
Love CSI - 7:30
Why didn’t this coach play Babangida from the start?
Over the years I'm a Cameroon fan from Kenya but Nigeria was robbed in this match.
Goalkeeper Shuromo was worst than Akpeyi of today.He killed Nigeria in that match, coupled with Ikpeba who was professional in the game but doesn't know when ball passes goal line.
we need goal line technology and we can also borrow some rules from the NBA but i wonder if fifa is ready for it, cameroon had no business winning that tournament the way they did cos the nigerian ball crossed the goal line but the ref turned a blind eye very unfortunate.
MajorrBison brilliant comment... excellent vision ma guy..even from that time; you saw VAR coming... brilliant...👍🏻
In 1984 it was 3 - 1 for Cameroon. Even if the goal was accepted it would have been 3- 2 for Cameroon. Then in 2000 it was a mistake from the referee and anyone could have won in penalty kicks
They feared Jay Jay that year
Yeah Yeah good but still we won ...
@bigwilly2k10
lol sweet talk. Meet in you in 2012. ;-)
A bientot le lion.
I really don't know why the coach did not change Kanu Nwankwo, after the first half. He was out of the match, made no impact at all to the match.
