Crazy scenes here - to a man the EquatoGuinean players are in teers, weeping on the pitch. They can't believe it and, frankly, neither can I. Senegal were among the favourites - they have been poor, and they go home early.

THE WHISTLE GOES! Equatorial Guinea beat Senegal to make the quarter finals of the African Cup of Nations and they are in tears! They can't believe it! A bunch of jobbing semi-pros, mostly from Spain with African heritage, and they are through - and Senegal are out!!
90+7
Provided they hold on and win this Doe won't be missed as a one-match ban will not rule him out of the quarters - remember, a win and the hosts are through.

Doe is sent off - a second yellow, I assume for time-wasting!

Oh my word. Equatorial Guinea appear to have sealed their passage to the quarters and in some style - Kily got forward from right-back and it dropped to him 20 yards out and he just let rip with an incredible drive, especially given the conditions. Boom. Booked for getting his wabs out.

What a tackle from Kamissoko to deny N'Diaye! Then Danilo gathers safely as a high ball causes problems. Now The hosts counter, Kily on the edge of the box AND WHAT A GOAL! KILY WITH A SCREAMER! WINNING IT AT THE DEATH!!!

Juvenal's low ball in is cleared. N'Doye charges forward but N'Diaye gives it away. And Balboa counters, he's in down the left and he hammers a low driver past Coundoul but just wide!
90+3
Kily on the right delays his cross as no-one is there so he buys the throw. Now they have a free-kick. Senegal boss Traore is going spare on the sidelines.
90+2
Now Cisse on the right is in space, great cross for N'Daw but the flag is up as he collides with Danilo!
90+1
Five minutes added time! Rui heads clear.

JUST WIDE FROM N'DIAYE! He smacked in a super low drive from the edge of the box, inches past the post.

GOAL SENEGAL! SOW DENIES THE HOSTS A WIN! He scrambled it in from close range after the hosts failed to clear their lines. Very lucky for Senegal, Rui's header hit a team-mate and fell to Cisse I think and it bounced to Sow, who finished from close range.

N'Doye is clobbered by Ekedo to win a free-kick as Ekanga comes back on. Surprise.
88'
Hilarious on the replay - he was completely fine, looked about to see if he'd won the free-kick and when he realised he hadn't he launched into the most absurd roll. He is now stretchered off...
87'
Equatorial Guinea are able to hold on to the ball for a bit. Then Ekanga goes down and rolls about for good measure.
86'
They take an age over the corner but eventually poor from Randy, low and weak and cleared for a throw.
85'
Ekenga runs it into the corner and wins one to boot - cheered almost like a goal by the home fans.
84'
Sow chases a long ball in vain as it goes out for a goal kick.

Ekanga with a great run off the ball and Balboa can put him clean through but it get stuck in the mud and Senegal clear! Senegal have everyone up front now, so can be torn apart on the break!
82'
Sow heads the corner down but Danilo gets down to hold on. Nervy times for the hosts...
