In keeping with the set pieces today, the corner is booted so high it comes down with a bit of cloud on it. The plastic football we joked about before half time has lasted a long time. Amazing what you can get in petrol stations these days. Robust stuff.

A minute remains and West Ham's leggy midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate bursts into the Ghana penalty area but cannot quite dig out an accurate cross.
We will have three minutes of added time and Ghana force a corner straight away...

Jerrim Rawlings:, external With that first half Ghana pace going forward, they had to tire down. Senegal tearing them apart now.

Last night we ridiculed my colleague Andy Cryer for predicting no goals halfway through the Cape Verde v Tunisia game. I'll give him a chance to get level with me now and say I think we will get a winner here. Around four minutes remaining.

What about Demba?published at 17:41 Greenwich Mean Time 19 January 2015
Senegal have never won this tournament.
They qualified in a group behind Tunisia but ahead of seven-time winners Egypt and Botswana.
Coach Alain Giresse caused controversy before the tournament by leaving out Demba Ba - the former Chelsea turned Besiktas striker.

Moussa Sow - the Fenerbahce player - on the field for just minutes is picked out delightfully with a long ball...apply the finish son...be a hero...gets it all wrong.
He cannot quite arrange his feet to collect a ball over his shoulder and from seven or eight yards the chance runs away from him.

Possession and territory will make for interesting reading in this half. Ghana have been redundant going forward and suddenly Senegal are playing more constructive football, working the ball nicely.
If we didn't know Avram Grant so well I'd predict a full-blown red faced on Avram Grant when he addresses his players after this. Ghana have disappeared in the second 45.

Ghana have lost their way big time. Moussa Sow comes on for Dame N'Doye for Senegal who sense blood.
Kara Mbodj heads tamely into the goalkeeper's hands but here is a glorious opening for Senegal, they have a two v three situation and Papa Diop drives forward...defenders back off...he's 18 yards out and central...scuffed. A big pull across his body and it's such a waste.
Only one winner here...

Into the last 20 minutes. Are we heading for a fourth 1-1 draw from five African Cup of Nations 2015 matches? I've a funny feeling there is a winner in this.
