And an excellent save at the other end! Edouard Mendy pushing a fierce effort from Marwan Hamdi over.

Suddenly, this game has livened up with minutes of extra time remaining.

Oooh this would have been some goal!

Bamba Dieng, lively since coming on, absolutely hammers a shot at goal. It looks unstoppable but somehow the excellent Gabaski keeps it out.

If this goes to penalties, something tells me we'll be writing headlines about Gabaski.

Mohamed Salah tries to race away down the flank but Kalidou Koulibaly gets back to intercept and clear.

The players look tired, the referee looks tired of blowing his whistle every minute, I'm getting tired writing about the referee blowing his whistle every minute.

Mohamed Salah tries his best to chase a ball but he's beaten to it by two Senegal players.

Gabaski raises his hands to the skies, he's urging the Egypt fans to roar them on for this final push.

Egypt have a free kick, Edouard Mendy comes for the ball but his defence deals with it.

Onwards into the final 15 minutes of extra time. Will someone surprise us with a goal? We've come too far now to be denied the drama of penalties, surely?

Very rarely can you dominate for the whole 90 minutes. Some of these chances Senegal have had you just worry that it will cost them. Half time came at a good time for Egypt because now they can reset.

Half time in extra time.

There's been no extra time winner in an Africa Cup of Nations since the 1960s apparently.

I think that run is going to continue.

Abdulhalim Said: Senegal are playing well but plenty of long balls with no measure or direction.

OfficialShivLadwa: Final or not, this has to be one of the worst matches ive seen in a while. Regardless I think Egypt will win on pens but their play leaves so much to be desired!!!

Huge noise from the Egypt fans as Gabaski saves the day again! This time he flings himself at a Bamba Dieng header that looked like it was creeping in at the far post.

Trezeguet has the ball stuck under his feet as he tries to control a cross into the box. He is quickly closed down and manages to get a shot off but it lacks power.

Egypt bring on more fresh legs as Mohanad Lasheen is on for Hamdi Fathi, who was probably one foul away from a sending off.

Who will step up? Where will the risk takers be on the pitch?

The ball is fizzed into the Egypt box but it skims the top of Sadio Mane's head and goes out for a goal kick.

The offside flag is up as Mohamed Salah tries to sneak through the Senegal defence.

Great start by Senegal as Bamba Dieng is onto a great through ball by Sadio Mane but he can't beat Gabaski as he tries to place his shot across the goalkeeper.

More of that, please!

Extra time is under way.

The third-placed play off yesterday evening was much better than this final! Burkina Faso three goals up with 19 minutes left to play Cameroon level to make it 3-3 and then straight to penalties. Host Cameroon won the bronze medal as they looked much better from the spot than they did when they lost to Egypt in the semi-final.

I think we will see more risks being taken than we saw in the last 15 minutes of the game because people were worried about making a mistake.

Paul Snowdon: Straight to penalties. Please. Both teams are absolutely shattered!
