Substitute Terry Envoh scored the winner in extra time to seal victory for Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>The game thus ended with no further development, handing Nigeria their sixth title and breaking the Cameroonian jinx at last. Nigeria won the AYC in 1983, 1985, 1987, 1989 and 2005.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Egypt finished third after defeating Mali 1-0 in the third-place play-off in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n<p>Champions Nigeria, Cameroon, Egypt and Mali will fly the continent&#8217;s flag in South America in the Under 20 World Cup scheduled to hold in Columbia from July 29.
