Ivory Coast face Egypt in the AFCON last 16 tie. Kickoff is at 16:00 GMT.

Elneny finds Salah whose snap shot from outside the box is tipped over. The corner from Salah is is a low one and is easily cleared.

Marmoush rattles the bar with a spectacular shot from distance, that beat the keeper.

Pepe feeds the ball to Sangare on the edge of the box, back to goal, he goes down but no foul is given.

Mohamed escapes a booking for beating Konan to the ball and leaving a bit on him. No yellow given despite Kessie's protests.

EARLY DOORS:

The Ivory Coast have imposed themselves more in the early stages. The standard of the pitch is not helping matters.

It was actually Bailly cautioned for a trip bringing Mohamed down.

This is the 11th time these countries have met at the AFCON, the most-played fixture in tournament history.

Aurier gets a nudge in the box and goes down, he wants a penaty. Ref waves play on, no VAR review.

Gradel with a neat bit of skill, he cuts inside and his shot from inside the box is charged down.

Ambitious low shot from the in-form Kessie which trickles wide, the keeper looked to have it covered.

Pepe is penalised for a foul near the corner flag but already you can see that physical style of the Elephants in full force.

KICK OFF: We are underway in Cameroon.

Five minutes until kickoff!
