    19'
    Mba wins a free-kick off Girma in the middle of the park.
    18'
    A nice passing move from Nigeria sees Mikel pick out Moses, who lays it off for Uche, but his cross is blocked before Emenike can attack it.
    17'
    Cool goalkeeping by the Ethiopia man Sisay Bancha, who lets the ball run under his dummy clearance and behind for a goal kick, with Emenike chasing him down.

    A corner results from the free-kick, which Dawit swings in - and Said is unmarked as he meets it with a header, but well over. Not the best in the air, Oboabona let him go!
    15'
    Moses with a flick on from Ambrose's pass but Uche can't get on to it. Good defending by Oboabona as Ethiopia break, but the minnows have men over and Echiejele fouls his man on the right.
    14'
    Uche gets his pass all wrong, putting it behind Emenike who was in down the right.
    13'
    Said almost gets in down the left but the pass is overhit and runs out for a goal kick.
    12'
    Nigeria with a long spell of possession but it comes to nothing as Echiejele gives it away.
    11'
    Short corner routine by Ethiopia but it's taken too quickly for their team-mates, who aren't positioned to attack the ball, which drops beyond Said at the back stick.
    10''
    Better for Ethiopia as Said runs at Oboabona to win a corner.
    8'
    This slightly random Ethiopia side look a touch confused positionally - they're just sitting deep, with little or no midfield movement.
    7'
    A rare move forward for Ethiopia but the ball swerves out and into Enyeama's arms. Goal kick.
    6'
    Emenike gets a touch but Ethiopia clear long, looking for the danger man Said. Enyeama gets there first.

    Great pass from Mikel but Bancha rushes out to get there just before Uche! Nigeria all over Ethiopia at the start of this match!
    4'
    Moses is okay after that rotten tackle and will take it... Deflected but into Bancha's arms.

    Moses on the ball again but he is caught by a lunge from Elias! That was two footed, lucky not to break the man's leg and no card either!

    Foul by Kebede on Moses on the Nigeria left... Great ball in by Moses for the free-kick and Ambrose flies in with the header but over!

    The ref today is Bouchaib El-Ahrach of Morocco. Hopefully he won't incorrectly award any late penalties, like Egypt's Ghead Greisha, who was sent home after denying Nigeria victory against Zambia.
