4-5
Keita with the vital spot kick and he slots it in perfectly. Ovono yet again goes the right way, but there's nothing he can do. Aubameyang is in tears, and it's just a shame that the hero of the group stages is the villain here. Mali carry on their extraordinary record in the quarter finals of the ACN.
4-4
Manga has to score and he goes for the Panenka! Ridiculous, but he scores! What a hero.
3-4
B. Traore with a similar run up to Aubameyang, but his effort is right into the top left corner. Perfect.
3-3
Aubameyang goes bottom right, but his run up was too slow and finally Diakite guesses right and it's a comfortable save!
3-3
Kante tucks it away and for the third time in succession Ovono goes the correct way, but to no avail.
3-2
Mouloungui goes bottom left and yet again Diakite goes the wrong way.
2-2
Yatabare with another nerveless penalty. Ovono again goes the right way to his right, but too much power.
2-1
Mbanangoye with a perfect penalty as he rifles it right into the top right hand corner, the keeper again going the wrong way.
1-1
Diabate for Mali and he tucks it away, though Ovono did go the right way and might have got finger tips.
1-0
Gabon to take the first penalty - And it's Poko who steps up...lot of pressure on the youngster, but he sends Diakite the wrong way.
0-0
Diakite is on the floor with a towel over his head preparing for this. One of these keepers will be a hero...

Again no stoppage time and we go straight to penalties...
119'
Maiga milks a foul for all it's worth from Mbanagoye. Diabate wins the flick on and the very last kick of the game is a fantastic chance for Keita! But he slides in and from four yards scoops over the bar.
118'
The outswinger from Yatabare goes straight out as it swings first out then back in. So frustrating at this time in the match.
117'
Mali reply through Maiga and he manages to win a corner - he's clearly very tired now. As are all the players to be fair.
116'
A header back across by Do Marcolino is cleared, but Gabon well on top in the last couple of minutes.
115'
Tamboura this time calmly clears any hint of danger. Kante is perhaps too relaxed this time as he takes a touch in the box. He gets lucky though as his clearance comes off the striker and out for a goal kick.
114'
Mouloungui can't get away from Kante, who sweeps up the danger well, at the expense of a throw.
112'
A rather aimless ball into the box from Diabate. Maiga goes up for the ball and is hurt as Mali pour forward.
