19'
Foul by Himoonde on Drogba, sliding in from behind. Free-kick around 25 yards out, a touch to the right...
18'
Yaya slips it wide to Gosso but Lungu gets behind him to clear. Good break by the Elephants.
17'
Drogba to take but straight into the wall. Mayuka runs away on the break but he fouled Gosso after the right-back stepped inside to shield the ball.
16'
Drogba leads a charge for the Ivorians and eventually he goes down after multiple challenges. Maybe too easily.
15'
Great one-touch play by Zambia as Tiene hoofs clear from Mayuka.
14'
Raining hard now in Libreville, and with the surface hard beforehand there could be some more injuries...

Lungu with a fine cross as the Ivorians fall asleep, Mayuka with the header but on the roof of the net! The Elephants caught out by a throw routine this time.

ZAMBIA SUB: Mulenga comes on for the distraught Musonda, who is still crying as he takes a seat.
11'
Musonda, who came back on, is struggling and so Renard takes him off. Poor man's crying into his shirt. Drogba hugs him on his way off. Sadface.
10'
Bamba looks long as Tiene gets forward, Nkausu putting out for a throw.
9'
Katongo chasing back trips big Sol Bamba and Ivory Coast have a free-kick, taken short to Yaya who has been quiet so far.
8'
Kalaba puts pressure on Gosso down the left but the Ivorian clears.
7'
Play restarts as they try to treat Musonda, who is desperate to play on. Down the other end a corner is won by Zambia.

No. Musonda is down again. His studs were caught in the turf - could be a bad one. He's 34 so if it keeps him out for a while then, well, could be tough to return. He's so upset - he can walk on but clearly something is up.
5'
Musonda is back up, but somewhat distressed looking. See if he can run it off.

Musdonda is down hurt - he may have twisted his knee making that clearance. Hopefully not too serious...
4'
Kalou almost finds Gervinho with a dainty through-ball but Musonda makes a timely intervention.
3'
Gervinho on the right aims a cross for Drogba but the flick lands behind Kalou. Bright start in the rain of Libreville!

ALMOST A GOAL FOR ZAMBIA! A super short corner to the near post totally catches Ivory Coast out and Sinkala drives in a fierce low shot from 15 yards but Barry saves well!
1'
Gervinho has started on the right with Zalou left. Zambia in green as Katongo goes on a direct run to win a corner off Tiene.
