It's all over between Nigeria and Ethiopia and that seals what we knew when the whistle went here: Nigeria and Faso advance to the quarter-finals but the 2012 surprise package see their title defence fall at the group stage.

Fifth minute played, presumably because of the treatment for Kone, but there's the final whistle and pending the inevitable whistle in the other game, champions Zambia are out!

Ball in for Sunzu, who has stayed up the pitch... but that's not a striker finish. Well off-target and that could be their last chance.

While Zambia continue to be on top attacks-wise, Nigeria taking the lead has pretty much shifted control of the match. Burkina looking very comfortable seeing this one out now, moreso than when they were going through at a double 0-0 anyway.

Faso kill a little time by bringing off Pitroipa for Abdoulrazak Traore, their final sub and the last of the game.

B.Kone's nose and mouth are a mess after catching an accidental arm from Mbesuma.

FOUR minutes of added time for Zambia to rescue their title defence and take the final spot at the expense of Faso. Seven minutes for Nigeria-Ethiopia. They're a minute ahead though and Nigeria are two up with a man advantage.

Kabore almost picks out Pitroipa with a low cross from the right. It's inches beyond his outstretched toe and Mweene gets there first.

Moses converts the second penalty and Nigeria are all but assured of progress. Only one team here can get through and the holders have a minute or so plus stoppage time to get the goal to stay alive in the tournament.

It's getting a bit desperate for Zambia in the meantime. They were the better side and are still enjoying the bulk of possession but the Nigeria score has evidently seeped through to them and the desperate urgency is not helping them find the goal they need.

Big delay before the penalty kick for Nigeria as an outfield player is ordered to dress entirely as a keeper - new jersey, new shorts, the lot - before trying to keep out the spot kick.

Zambia have a free-kick just outside the area on the right but after some frantic pinballing, it's cleared by Faso.

The Ethiopia goalkeeper is off as Nigeria win another penalty. They are on the verge of ensuring they're one of the two teams going through. Burkina are the other... for now.

Bance heads a long free-kick across goal but does so too well - it sails over two team-mates and out for a goal kick.

Early Zambia cross from the left is easy pickings for Diakite to smother.

An attacking final sub from the cup holders reflects their newfound state of urgency: Jonas Sakuwaha replaces Lungu up top.

Kabore constructs a great move down the middle for Burkina but goes for goal when he had players to put through to his right. Zambia of course need something now or else Faso and Nigeria go through.

Now Zambia win another corner at the opposite end as.......... Moses scores for Nigeria!

There's a penalty to Nigeria in the other game as Kabore sees a corner easily caught by Mweene.
