    That's it! Nigeria are through after that Moses late show. Zambia, the defending champs, crash out.
    90+6
    Ethiopia haven't given up the ghost as they come forward again. It's 0-0 in the other match - meaning Zambia are out, and Burkina Faso through.

    Said with a rising drive into the side netting from the right. He's some player, set for Lierse according to reports.

    Ethiopia should have pulled one back but Said rasps the finish over after fine play down the left!

    NIGERIA SUB: Yobo comes on for Mikel.
    90+1
    Seven minutes added time. Unsurprising.

    MOSES MAKES IT TWO! The second penalty is clipped bottom left this time, keeper going the right way. 2-0.

    Finally they sort that out and Moses will take the penalty.

    They are actually putting a new number on the shirt for Hintsa. Crikey.
    87'
    An outfield player has gone in goal. Hintsa I think, but the ref is being a pedant and making him get a different number on his goalkeeping shirt, to match his shorts. Idiotic waste of time.

    Bancha is a maniac, that's the second reckless red card challenge in three matches. And a penalty. He'd have only got a yellow had he not just been booked for mouthing off.

    BANCHA IS OFF! He gets his second yellow card of the match and second red of the finals after clattering Moses, who raced clear on the break and into the box after that free-kick was cleared.

    Mikel with a foul on the left-hand edge of the Nigeria box, he's booked....

    HOW DID THEY NOT SCORE?! The free-kick is swung far post to Ideye, who heads on goal but clawed away brilliantly by the keeper, but Musa flies in with another header, the ball ricocheting off the head of Moses and away!

    Phew, well Ethiopia could well have equalised there. Down the other end there's a kerfuffle as a Nigeria player has gone down... Bancha is booked for protesting. Free-kick edge of the box. Clumsy from Hintsa on Ambrose.

    WHAT A SAVE BY ENYEAMA! Fantastic stop as Said flew in with a header to the top left! He flew across and clawed it away!

    If Moses scores this penalty, Nigeria will have one foot in the quarter-finals - AND HE SCORES! Cool as you like, bottom right and the keeper static. 1-0!

    Nigeria have men forward as Ideye flicks the ball wide left to Moses - and he's taken down by Girma and it's a penalty Nigeria! Reckless challenge!
    77'
    Oboabona hits the deck hard after making a clearance. He's okay. Down the other end Bancha drops the ball again but again claims it before a Nigerian can pounce.
    76'
    Terrible from MBa, I have no idea why he is playing today. He hits an aimless long shot well over when he had four men running through.
