15'
A few wayward, optimistic punts.
14'
A bit scrappy at the moment.
12'
Trumpets and drumming urging the teams on as it's battled out in midfield.
11'
Remember, Burkina are the only team who haven't yet scored at this tournament.
10'
Traore takes the corner for Burkina, and it whips in dangerously towards the far post, causing everyone puzzlement.
9'
Moutou takes, and Sanou punches.
8'
Corner to Congo.
-
And now he's flagged offside again despite not actually being.
6'
And good ball in to the head of Pitroipa again! He can't quite make proper contact though.
5'
Thievy Bifouma is already carving through that Burkina defence.
4'

Pitroipa is playing up front, and is offside by a mile, so his neat roll into the net is needless.
3'
It's straight smack into the wall.
2'
Free kick to Congo, about 10 yards outside the box. Ndinga shapes to shoot.
1'
Kick off!
17:53
The teams are heading out on to the pitch.

There are a proliferation of those orange sticks in the crowd. You know, the ones you bash together and they make a really really really loud noise. Should be a good atmosphere, then, if that's anything to go by.

And Burkina Faso played out a goalless draw with Equatorial Guinea.

So Congo are top of Group A, Burkina Faso are bottom. Meanwhile, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon play it out in their decider. If my maths is correct - and that's not guaranteed - basically anything could still happen in terms of progression.
