Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Ivory Coast and Zambia's African Cup of Nations final - kicking off at 7.30 UK time.

Gervinho twists and turns on the left but his shot is blocked by Himoonde.

Gradel with a nice cross but picked up and back-passed by Katongo: Mweene is cool to clear having come out of his box. Mayuka fouls.

Sinkala has a pop but he sends it well wide. Goal kick Ivory Coast. FACT: Zambia attempted more shots from outside the box than any other team. Thanks to TV for that.

A lull in play as dashing Zambia boss Renard looks on pensively; he reminds me of a less flamboyant version of Fabio, if you remember him from the 90s or recent Old Spice ads...

Chris Katongo with a dangerous ball in from the right but it missed everyone and bounces out for a throw.

Lungu on the left but his cross is cleared by Tiene. Now Gervinho and Tiene move down the left but Nkausu clears.

Zambia have gained in confidence and come forward again, Katongo (F) on the ball...

Bony spins a low ball into Drogba who goes down easily as Sunzu helps it clear.

Tiote is down hurt now... What a chance that was. Great match for a goalless one!

KATONGO HITS THE POST! Felix Katongo with a great run down the right, he slides a low ball to brother Chris who thinks he's scored but helped on to the post by Barry's foot! Great save!

Good keeping with Mweene flying in to claim a high ball, quick release too. He has been excellent. More on him in our Euroscout feature.

Gosso with a long ball, super diagonal run and touch from Drogba but Sunzu gets back brilliantly to combine with Mweene to close him out.

Zambia looking to play keep ball and save their legs. Both sides look a bit scared now.

A delay as a Zambia player goes down... No sub needed.

Extra time starts.

Poor Didier. He showed great sportsmanship by consoling an opponent after injury ended his night, but then missed another final penalty. Should he have taken it? Will Ivory Coast triumph eventually or can Zambia pull off a massive shock? Let me know on Twitter @Reda_Eurosport.

Extra time it is! Goalless, Drogba having missed a penalty in the final AGAIN, and half an hour more of this. Zambia seem to be tiring but who knows what they will pull off?

Gervinho is hurt after colliding with Mweene. All the subs used to he'll have to play on or leave them down to 10 men...

A corner for Ivory Coast right at the death as Tiene's cross hits a defender. Last chance for a goal in nornal time... Gradel lifts it in but Mweene bravely charges down Gervinho to claim.

Good take by Barry from the corner. So nervy!

Super ball over the top by Chansa, Mayuka is in and he could win it but what a challenge from Kolo to hook it away for a corner!!
