And that's it! A last-gasp goal by Alain Traore gives Burkina Faso a famous 1-1 draw against 10-man Nigeria. Thanks for joining us tonight, so far only one victory in six Afcon matches!

GOAL BURKINA FASO! RIGHT AT THE DEATH! They had overplayed it as Pitroipa inexplicably refused to shoot after going through, falling over as he tried to pass it back, but Alain Traore flew in with the low finish. 1-1! Yobo and Oboabona all at sea.
90+3
Kone with a fine ball to Sanou, who could shoot here but he slips it in to Dagano, who holds off the defender but makes a royal mess of his pass back. Shot-shy.
90+2
Nigeria have everyone behind the ball now as Burkina Faso try to snatch an equaliser. Aimless ball from Kone though.
90+1
Playing 4 minutes of stoppage time (I think - it hasn't been signalled, helpfully) as Koffi goes on a mazy run but panic-shoots miles over when the pass was the better option.
90'
Traore (Alain) is free on the left but a horrible low cross straight at Enyeama. Weak given how well he'd done to work the space.
89'
Sanou with a decent cross that a stretching Oboabona nods clear. Burkina Faso piling men forward now...
88'
Now Mikel with a superb pass wide to Uche, who plays it back to Musa who puts it over.
87'
Decent ball from Musa but Panandetiguiri clears.
86'
With Burkina Faso committing men forward, Nigeria break again but Musa is offside as he comes through.
85'
Poor from Musa, straying offside as Uche was set to send him clean through.
84'
Kone is robbed by Musa, who takes on the right back, but Kona gets back to clear in time. Now Razack Traore goes on the run but is challenged. Throw to Burkina Faso.
83'
After a decent cross from the Nigeria left, a risky back-pass from Panandetiguiri almost lets Musa in but the keeper is alive to it.

BURKINA FASO SUB: Traore (Abdou Razack) comes on for Rouamba.

Uche with a fantastic run inside from the left but his finish is wayward. Mikel sent him through - best player on the park in my view.
79'
Scrappy phase again now with Nigeria looking to break up the play as much as possible.

NIGERIA SUB: Ideye comes off for Omeruo, a young Chelsea defender on loan at Den Haag in Holland.
76'
Mikel asks the ref why his players are being booked, while the likes of Rouamba - who just fouled him - is getting away with it.
75'
Nigeria must defend their narrow lead with 10 men for the last quarter hour. The initial free-kick is cleared, throw to Burkina Faso.

Ambrose receives a second yellow card and is sent off! It's been a bitty match punctuated by fouls, but he cynically pulled down Pitroipa after getting skinned by the Rennes winger.
