‘Scoring in the final opened more doors’ – Amuneke reflects on winning '94 Afcon with Nigeria

Emmanuel Amuneke says scoring twice in the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations final was a major turning point in his football career.

Featuring in his first game of the competition, the winger got a brace in Nigeria’s 2-1 defeat of Zambia on April 10 of that year.

Elijah Litana’s header had handed Chipolopolo a third-minute lead inside Stade El Menzah, however, Amuneke completed a comeback win for Clemens Westerhof’s men.
