Ali Maaloul takes the free kick and Msakni stumbles and fails to get to position in time. The heat seems to be taking its toll on the players as they run for water at every break.

This match in Cameroon has kind of fallen into a lull. The hosts are enjoying sterile possession, while the visiting North Africans seem quite happy sitting in a defensive shell and repelling crosses into Cameroonian forwards.

This is not the first time Rigobert Song and Djamel Belmadi have faced off. The former internationals captained their sides in a group stage match during the 2004 Africa Cup of Nations. Then they exchanged pleasantries and a pre-match handshake, now they're both in their technical areas gesticulating towards their players.

Tunisia are clearly on the offensive so far. The Carthage Eagles are pushing their way into Mali's defences, waiting for a slip up. Abdoulaye Diaby managed to sneak into Tunisia's box but Issa Laidouni Managed to stop him at his tracks.

Islam Slimani nicks the ball off of Michael Ngadeu and races towards Onana's goal. The angle is tight, but the Sporting striker hits a well-drilled ball at the Ajax keeper who pushes the ball out for a corner kick. That's Algeria's first real goalscoring opportunity!

Algeria have now grown into the match have began building up play. Captain Riyad Mahrez is growing more and more involved, winning a free-kick and linking up with Ismael Bennacer, but the North Africans are yet to threaten Onana's goal.

The Jollof Derby in Kumasi: The Super Eagles are set to depart their hotel for the Baba Yara stadium. Team list has been sorted. Some injury-forced changes by coach Augustine Eguavoen. The players say they know what to expect from the crowd in the Ashanti Region

Cameroon are incessant! This time Aboubakar gets in on the act and turns Aissa Mandi inside-out before shooting off-target. Algeria have not strung together more than four passes at the moment.

Souhail Khmira

Tunisia are off on an attacking note, with two consecutive corners by Ali Maaloul. Mali's defence is ready to divert Tunisia's threat.

Toko Ekambi takes another free-kick and this time tries to surprise Algerian goalkeeper Rais M'Bolhi by shooting directly on goal. M'Bolhi is up to the task and parries the strong effort wide.

Cameroon have started this match on the front foot by applying pressure on the Algerians in front of the near capacity crowd at Japoma Stadium in Douala. Karl Toko Ekambi's free-kick was met by Michael Ngadeu's header, but it was directed wide.

...and we're under way in Bamako too.

As one match ends, another begins...

That's it - DR Congo will be pretty disappointed they didn't hold on. In fact they look absolutely gutted. They know that Morocco equaliser could really hurt them - away goals count double.

Morocco aren't overjoyed themselves, but they're certainly happier. They know DR Congo will have to score against them to go through. 0-0 in Casablanca will happily take the Atlas Lions to Qatar on Tuesday.

This is Jalel Kadri's first match as a head coach for Tunisia. Kadri was promoted from assistant coach to head coach after Mondher Kebaier was sacked following the loss against Burkina Faso at Afcon. Tunisia are deprived of the services of Wahbi Khazri, Dylan Bronn, and Bilel Ifa due to Injury. The Carthage Eagles are eying a sixth World Cup appearance. There's no surprise with the tactical formation though - Kadri sticks to 4-3-3.

Now this game is getting better - the substitutes for both sides are having an impact here. The quality of football has improved and that has lead to another goal and some good chances for both sides. A much better game for the neutral to watch.
