22:58 BST 26 June 2019I'm just about to call it a day now, it's well past my bed time.
There are three more Afcon games tomorrow.
Madagascar play Burundi at 15:30 BST - both of those teams are in their first ever Africa Cup of Nations.
Senegal play Algeria at 18:00 BST. The winners of that will clinch a last 16 place. You can follow live text commentary of that on the BBC Sport website.
And finally Kenya play Tanzania at 21:00 BST. Both sides lost their opening games.

22:54 BST 26 June 2019DR Congo cannot finish in the top two now. Their only chance is to beat Zimbabwe and hope to finish with a better record than two other third-placed teams. With a goal difference of -4 I think they'll have to win that by a few.

90+2 minsEgypt's keeper punches at a cross. Yannick Bolasie doesn't shoot first time when he should. His cross-shot reaches Cedric Bakambu, who turns it over the bar.

90+1 minsCedric Bakambu blasts a shot off a defender from the edge of the box. Now Yannick Bolasie has a cross cleared.
INJURY TIMEpublished at 90 mins
90 minsFour minutes added on. There could be 400 added and I don't think DR Congo would take a chance.

89 minsMohamed Salah runs from his own half, he cuts inside and is eventually crowded out by DRC defenders. Had he stayed out wing longer, he would have been away.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 88 mins
88 minsThe first thing Egypt sub Ali Ghazal does is kick out at Cedric Bakambu and go into the book. The hosts have been lucky not to have anyone sent off today.

86 minsDR Congo corner, punched out for a throw-in. I think the Leopards could be here all day and not score.

83 minsSeveral DR Congo lads stand over this. And Yannick Bolasie blasts it JUST wide. It's a fantastic hit, with such venom, as he curls it around the ball and just past the far post.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 82 mins
82 minsFree-kick to DR Congo in a great position. Yannick Bolasie feeds Cedric Bakumbu, who is brought down by Mahmoud Alaa right on the edge of the area.
Alaa is booked - that could have been more for denying a goalscoring opportuntiy.
