Burkina Faso midfielder Jonathan Pitroipa was voted 2013 Africa Cup of Nations Man of the Tournament after his country lost the final 1-0 to Nigeria on Sunday.
.
Pitroipa from French club Rennes came close to missing the title decider with a red card wrongly awarded against him in the semifinal against Ghana rescinded only when the Tunisian refeere admitted he erred.
.
Tunisian Youssef Msakni took the Goal of the Tournament award for his late winner against Algeria, Nigerian Emmanuel Emenike won the Top Scorer prize and compatroit Victor Moses the Fair Play honour.
.
Congratulations to the Burkina Faso player.
Pitroipa did not deserve player of the tournament in my opinion. Mikel Obi or Victor Moses were my pick
