Kevin Constant is buzzing after his early goal and pings a delightful arrowed ball across field. His efforts see Naby Keïta hacked down by Mali's Adama Tamboura who gets his second warning of the game. He has done well to escape a yellow.

Ex-West Ham man Modibo Maiga has a bang for Mali...cracker...tipped over.

What a strike from the former Leeds United man. Max Gradel picks the ball up on the edge of the penalty area and smashes it home from 20 yards. Ivory Coast now heading through with Guinea.

So with an hour of Afcon 2015 group action left, we have two sides on course to draw lots. Guinea's lead would put them through but the stalemate between Ivory Coast and Cameroon would see the pair need to draw lots tomorrow.

Will this run continue?

The pitch here in Mongomo is posing problems for players. Like all the surfaces in this tournament it has not been in place for long and the roll of the ball is often interrupted by bobbles. Mali are currently getting frustrated with it as attacks break down with each heavy touch.

Penalty-save hero Naby Yattara tries to clear a back pass first time in the Guinea goal and rolls it across the floor inches beyond the stretch of a Mali striker, What was he thinking? Blame the pitch fella.

Guinea is one of the worst impacted countries in the recent Ebola epidemic in west Africa. Only Liberia and Sierra Leone have seen more deaths and the stigma carried by the virus was felt by the national team's players.

Borussia Monchengladbach winger Ibrahima Traore says players were tested for Ebola in the dressing room, just before a vital match against Togo.

"We felt disrespected in other countries; to us it was like some people were seeing us Guineans not as human beings but as a disease," Traore told BBC Sport.

"We got a $30,000 (£19,700) bonus for qualifying and I gave that money directly to charities fighting the disease. At the Africa Cup of Nations we want to fight for the people who are struggling due to Ebola."

Jeremiah Kariuki:, external What a game! Guinea get a penalty. Scores. On restart, a penalty for Mali. But Keita wastes it! A cracker this game is.

As we stand, Cameroon and Ivory Coast will be drawing lots to decide who goes through as runners-up behind group winners Guinea. This will now take place in a hotel tomorrow, rather than in the post match news conference.

Could be a long night for some players if that happens.

What a start to this game. Two penalties, one in, one out, some decent chances and a referee who will now be scrutinised.

Defensively Guinea look ragged, so there is a long way to go before any of their fans can relax.

BBC Sport's Matthew Kenyon in Mongomo: This game is being played at such intensity. The referee's decisions have intensified that - and the challenges are flying in. Guinea coach Michel Dussuyer indicates to his squad to calm down. Thanks to Naby Yattara in goal they're in front. And that takes them through. A long way to go though.

Less drama in Malabo but Max Gradel's downward header for the Ivory Coast is well turned away by Cameroon goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa.

Seydou Keita has won silverware in two countries and formed part of Barcelona's dominant side under Pep Guardiola between 2008 and 2011.

The 35-year-old midfielder has an impressive haul for his work. Three La Liga titles, two Champions League winner medals, two Copa del Reys and a French cup success with Lorient in 2002.

If Mali get to the final, he will likely earn his 100th cap on the day.

The most experienced player on the pitch takes an abysmal penalty. Left footed, he goes tamely to the goalkeeper's right and a good guess by Naby Yattara allows him to save and hold the ball. When a keeper holds a penalty you surely know you've had a shocker.

Referee levelled it up? Too easy a call to make? Certainly I don't think either set of fans would complain for too long if neither of these penalties had been given.

Modibo Maiga does well in the right channel to weave inside and he smashes a shot which pole axes a Guinea defender. Baissama Sankoh is out on the deck but the referee adjudges he stopped the ball illegally. It was like a missile and that seems harsh.

The Guinea midfielder Kevin Constant makes no mistake from the spot. Guinea are going through as things stand.

Ibrahima Traore of Guinea lashes a shot and Salif Coulibaly bravely puts his head on it but can only deflect the ball onto his hand. He would have known little about it but ultimately it was his own header which fizzed onto his own hand.

Ivory Coast goalkeeper Sylvain Gbohouo is penalised for handball outside the penalty area. He is right to be furious as he had let go of the ball before he left the box.

Still, chance for Cameroon... but Franck Etoundi heads over.

A big call and Mali want a spot kick. Should they have one? Probably.

A route one ball catches Guinea's vulnerable looking defence at sixes and sevens and as Mustapha Yatabare sizes up a great chance from a central position, he is sneakily nudged in the back and clatters into the goalkeeper. IT was a push, of that there is no doubt.

Fode Camara the offender is a lucky boy.

The Guinea goalkeeper must be sharp. Naby Yattara has 16 outings in six years for Arles-Avignon in France. I do hope he works hard in training or that is one easy life.
