Jennifer Echegini says her Women's Africa Cup of Nations-winning goal for Nigeria will remain a highlight to look back on for the rest of her career.
The 24-year-old midfielder swept home Esther Okoronkwo's free-kick in the 88th minute to complete a stunning second-half comeback as the Super Falcons beat hosts Morocco 3-2 on Saturday.
"I'm just going to carry this moment close to me," she told the BBC World Service.
"If I'm ever doubting myself as a player, I just think of this to encourage me and give me confidence.
"It's my first trophy I've ever won in my career, so definitely a memorable one that I'll keep in my heart forever."
A record-extending 10th continental title for the West Africans had looked a distant dream at half time, as goals from Ghizlane Chebbak and Sanaa Mssoudy put Morocco 2-0 up at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat.
But Okoronkwo pulled a goal back from the penalty spot midway through the half and then laid on two more goals in a compelling team display of mental strength.
"We're 2-0 down in the final, it's half-time, you absolutely have nothing to lose," Echegini said.
