Cyrus Katabula: This is a very poor game for an Afcon final. Lots of stoppages and reckless play
Senegal 0-1 Algeria
So close to a brilliant equaliser. The ball bounces behind M'Baye Niang, 30 yards out. The striker swivels and hits it on the bounce, it's such a sweet hit and flies just inches wide of the top corner. That would have been a goal of the tournament contender.
Senegal 0-1 Algeria
Algeria defender Ramy Bensebaini is really walking the tightrope now. It's another risky sliding tackle on Ismaila Sarr but this time he wins the ball. Just. Another inch and he's sent off.

Henri Saivet's corner is cleared by Adlene Guedioura.

Senegal have a corner now and send the big lads forward.
But they have to wait as Sofiane Feghouli goes down rolling in the box after a slight nudge from Sadio Mane. Ridiculous.

Riyad Mahrez is dropping quite deep at the moment. He's almost a second right-back as he stops Youssouf Sabaly's run.

Part of me's hoping that this'll go all the way to penalties. Always love a good shootout when I'm a neutral!!!

Peter Labeja: Thriller happening tonight. I can't wait for Senegal comeback to make it a true thriller. Will blessed Mane feet disappoint the Senegalese fans? In Uganda, we are prisoners of hope.
Senegal 0-1 Algeria
Free-kick to Senegal now as Sadio Mane gets a boot in the face.
Senegal 0-1 Algeria
The game is in a bit of a lull at the moment.
My colleagues are discussing the fact most famous Belgians seem to be fictional characters, because so little is happening on the pitch.
