Defending champions Zambia were knocked out as Chelsea star Victor Moses lifted Nigeria into the quarter-finals - with unheralded Burkina Faso joining them at the Africa Cup of Nations last night.
Group C finished in thrilling fashion with Moses converting two late penalties to beat Ethiopia 2-0 in Rustenburg and put Nigeria into second place behind surprise table-toppers Burkina Faso.
Zambia drew 0-0 with Burkina Faso in Nelspruit to become the first Afcon holders to be knocked out in the first round for 21 years.
