Well that is it for the day. It comes down to this for Mali and Guinea. Good luck sleeping tonight if you support either of those sides.

Thank you for all your interaction today and throughout this tournament so far. The BBC Sport website will keep you up to date on plans for the drawing of lots as we get greater clarity on when it will happen tomorrow.

Afcon action then returns on Saturday as the quarter-finals get underway and there will be a live text covering it all right here.

In all, 10 of the 24 matches at Afcon 2015 have now ended 1-1.

Predictable or brilliantly competitive?

Andrew Priestley:, external A nation's progression to the knockout stages of an international competition will be decided by the drawing of lots. Surreal.

Festus Abrah-Yeboah:, external We have seen too little goals in this tournament over all. Is it really done to attacking flaws or stand-out defending?

What can you say about this? What a group.

Pre-tournament favourites Ivory Coast are in the last eight and will meet Algeria in a clash of two huge African nations. That's the simple part though as tomorrow we will know if Guinea or Mali are in the quarter-finals when lots are drawn.

Imagine the nerves...all your preparation comes down to luck of the draw.

Ivory Coast are through. Cameroon are going home.

Lots will be drawn. You heard it here first...lots will be drawn.

Abdoulaye Cisse of Guinea rolls around on the deck. He gets done by a high boot. This game is seconds from completion...

Free-kick Mali...yes another one...Abdou Traore slams it to the box and out comes Naby Yattara to punch. You can feel the nerves emanating from these players.

Four minutes of injury time.

I'd say next goal wins rather than splitting by drawing lots but we may be here all day.

A late substitution for Mali slows momentum - three minutes of injury time.

Mohamed Yattara has run tirelessly for Guinea up front and he is hacked down - a clever foul to kill play - prompting Seydouba Soumah to hit a free kick from range. He finds he wall and we are three minutes from lots being drawn to split these teams.

Vincent Aboubakar takes a few steps back, runs up and....... bang. The ball fis blocked though.

Free-kick to Cameroon 30 yards out. Fill the box lads....

Bakary Sako is a big lad, broad shoulders, hardly the lean, tricky winger type, but that's what he's playing like.

He teases and taunts his marker, weaves a yard, slips one across goal...own goal...no. The defender breathes a sigh as the ball goes wide.

Five minutes for Cameroon to save themselves. A goal and its drawing lots all around. As it stands, Ivory Coast are through as group winners.

The big build-up. A wall is constructed (it would have been quicker to build a brick one). Free-kick Mali...20 yards...Seydou Keita over it...bang...into the wall.

The time investment in setting that barrier up was worth it. Keita has not had a day to remember.

BBC Sport's Steve Crossman in Malabo: You know when you think a team will get one more chance...that may have been it for Aboubakar.

Just when he needed a clean contact. Fans still doing everything they can but all the flag waving and singing looks like coming to nought here.

Cameroon haven't looked nearly as threatening after Edgar Salli's replacement which I can only assume was because of an injury.

BBC Sport's Matthew Kenyon in Mongomo: Tick tick tick...

I've seen some late goals in this stadium... Asamoah Gyan against Algeria to win it for Ghana. Moussa Sow winning the game for Senegal against the Black Stars with literally the last kick of the match. Less than 10 minutes here for one of these sides to grab a place in the last eight.

Ivory Coast coach Herve Renard admits Yaya Toure may struggle to replicate his Manchester City performances at international level.

He said: "Ivory Coast are not Manchester City. The potential of the players is not the same.

"At City there are a lot of players able to defend very well and create.

"With us, it is a bit different, which is why we ask him to do a different job, although he was very comfortable because he was used to doing that earlier in his career, especially at Barcelona."

A real chance for Vincent Aboubakar but he scuffs his shot from eight yards and goalkeeper Sylvain Gbohouo pounces gratefully.

Yaya Toure limps off for Ivory Coast and is replaced by Cheick Doukoure.
