  1. FULL-TIMEpublished at 17:52 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2015

    All over in Bata. The match of the tournament without doubt, and it is DR Congo who advance to the semi-finals after a simply stunning comeback. Goalkeeper Robert Kidiaba is doing his famous 'bum shuffle' celebration, while defender Jean Kasusula weeps with joy. DR Congo are in the last four for the first time since 1998, and you can see what it means.

    Four added minutes, but surely Congo have too much to do now.

    "If Neeskens Kebano doesn't start in the semi-final I'll be very surprised, He created that one. It's 4-2 - Congo are finished. This is a game and a half."

    "What a famous win for DR Congo. They are dancing away to my left. Robert Kidiaba is dancing on his bottom in the penalty area. DR Congo's first semi-final since 1998."

    That seals it. DR Congo break at pace, substitute Neeskens Kebano slips a pass through the middle to Dieumerci Mbokani, who holds off the Congo defenders and slips the ball past Christoffer Mafoumbi at the second time of asking. Congo have crumpled like a cardboard box that's been left out in the rain.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 17:45 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2015

    Cedric Makiadi, who has been excellent for DR Congo, is replaced by Nelson Omba.

    Three minutes plus added time left. Can Congo find an equaliser?

    This is the first match which has produced five goals at this tournament. And there's almost another as Yannick Bolasie hares through an undermanned Congo defence, but he can only roll a tame effort into the grateful clutches of Christoffer Mafoumbi.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 17:41 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2015

    Congo coach Claude LeRoy rolls the dice. Arnold Moutou and Franci Litsingi are withdrawn, Fabrice Ondama and Cesar Gandze are on.

  11. YELLOW CARDpublished at 17:40 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2015

    Congo midfielder Delvin Ndinga goes into the book for a needless trip.

    "It's a superb comeback. Going 2-0 down liberated DR Congo - they had to go for it and they did as soon as the second goal in. Congo weren't able to calm things down and let things rest for five minutes."

  13. GOALpublished at 17:37 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2015

    Sorry Congo fans, perhaps the signs weren't so good. Dieumerci Mbokani wins his umpteenth free-kick of the match, Cedric Mabwati curls it in, and a glancing header from substitute Joel Kimuaki nestles in the far corner. What a turnaround.

    Can Congo pick themselves up from that bodyblow? The early signs are good - Dimitri Bissiki sends over a hanging cross from the left to the far post, which is headed over by Thievy Bifouma.

    "Congo coach Claude LeRoy is furious with the fourth official. Ferebory Dore was off injured and Dominique Malonga was ready to come on. There was a break in play but the fourth official wasn't ready. Malonga is a big guy, he could have been useful in that defence there."

    Jeremy Bokila has missed a few, but finally he sends the DR Congo bench into raptures. First of all he forces a good save from Christoffer Mafoumbi, but Delvin Ndinga doesn't clear from the box and when the ball is smuggled back through to Bokila, he finds the roof of the net with a sweet strike. Have Congo blown it?

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 17:31 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2015

    Congo striker Ferebory Dore is being removed on a stretcher with what appears to be cramp. Dubious. Hibernian's Dominique Malonga is ready to come on in his place.

  18. Postpublished at 17:29 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2015

    DR Congo's Yannick Bolasie has come to life. He switches flanks, beats Dimitri Bissiki on the right and delivers a peach of a cross for Jeremy Bokila, who sends a stooping header wide. Blockbuster last 20 minutes in prospect here.

    They'd take a draw now...

  20. CLOSE!published at 17:27 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2015

    And now a big chance up the other end as Ferebory Dore is inches from connecting with a killer cross from the right. Any touch there was a goal for Congo.
