Highlights

FULL TIME! There is the final whistle as Nigeria make it two wins out of two. Guinea are right on the brink already after this set-back with Kenneth Omeruo scoring the only goal of the game in Alexandria.

90+3'

SUB! Nigeria are very nearly there and they will keep the clock running down as Samuel Kalu takes the place of Simon.

90+2'

It's now or never for Guinea as Ndidi stamps his authority again but this time he loses out to Diawara before Aina can prevent the cross from Bangoura.

90+1'

We're into three added minutes as Bangoura's delivery is as bad as it could have been towards Seka. Nigeria breathe a huge sigh of relief.

90'

FOUL! That's a wild challenge from Etebo and his recklessness earns him a yellow card as Traore gets back onto his feet. What can Guinea do from here with Bangoura standing over it.

88'

SUB! Ebere Onuachu comes on for the final few minutes as he takes the place of Ighalo.

84'

CHANCE! That's a lovely ball from the man just on the pitch Koita, but Sylla just can't make anything of the opportunity!

83'

SUB! Guinea make another change just before this free-kick as Bangali-Fode Koita replaces Kamano.

When it comes in, Akpeyi punches clear and catches his own team-mate Chidozie Awaziem. Lass Bangoura was penalised for a push in the build-up.

80'

Into the final 10 we go, and things will be a lot clearer as these two head for their final game on Sunday. It might turn out that four points aren't enough. We will have to wait and see as Kenneth Omeruo is penalised for handball.

78'

SUB! Nigeria make their first change of the afternoon as Alex Iwobi makes way for Chukwueze. The Super Eagles have been completely dominant and they deserve to lead in this second half as Ighalo is just flagged offside.

76'

It was a disastrous decision to make the substitution as Sidibe was the man who was beaten in the air by Omeruo. Why would you do that! Omeruo celebrates his first goal for his country, and what a time to score it.

73'

Nigeria

GOAL!!!!! Nigeria 1-0 Guinea. That is how you re-direct the pace from Simon's corner as Kenneth Omeruo rises to glance home the opener!

73'

SUB! Guinea make their second change before this corner as Sidibe takes the place of Dyrestam.

72'

Iwobi has had his moments in this game and after he collects the ball from Simon, he gets his right-footed shot away, deflecting off the Guinea defender at the expense of a corner.

70'

SUB! Naby Keita is finally going to make way for the final 20 minutes as Lass Bangoura comes on in his place.

69'

Musa gets away from Seka but not for the first time, Simon Falette is there to clear the ball away from Ighalo. Mikael Dyrestam has gone down with what looks like a touch of cramp.

67'

Incidentally, Keita has been strapped up and told to play on. He's clearly not fit but he remains out there...

67'

Nigeria

SAVE! It's curled by Ogenekharo Etebo over the wall but it's a comfortable punch away from Ibrahima Koné!

66'

BOOKED! Ernest Seka's name is taken after a silly tug of the arm on Ighalo. What can Nigeria do from here?

64'

I think Naby Keita has had enough and it looks like his afternoon is over. The Liverpool man has gone down holding the back of his right leg, and the substitute is being prepared.
