Egypt are raising the already hot temperature here and Mohamed Salah has his first chance.

He controls the ball just outside the box, it bounces up in the air and his half-volley is tipped over the bar by the keeper.

A lovely passing move down the right from the Ivorians but Serge Aurier can't get a cross in and Egypt come away.

Former South Africa international Dean Furman on BBC iPlayer: "Egypt fans haven't been happy with how they have performed so far and expect so much more."

Egypt's first chance of the whole game and they are so close to leading.

Omar Marmoush hammers in an absolutely beautful dipping strike from 20 yards which beats the keeper but crashes back off the crossbar.

Eric Bailly suffered a head injury in the group stages so he's wearing a protective rugby scrum cap on his head today.

An accidental clash of heads between Ghislain Konan and Mostafa Mohamed but they're both OK.

Many many Cameroonians are backing Egypt today because the Cameroon fans backed Ivory Coast in their group game against Algeria which the Elephants won 3-1. But soon after that on social media Ivorians started saying that Cameroon are being favoured on home soil. So lots of people seen learning the Egyptian anthem today and others temporarily changing their names on Twitter.

Eric Bailly of the Ivory Coast is the first player booked for a pointless foul on Mostafa Mohamed.

Max Gradel beats Mohamed Elneny but his cross is blocked by Ahmed Hegazi.

Now Sebastien Haller appeals unsuccessully for a penalty as he's nudged over by Omar Marmoush. There wasn't a load of contact.

It's all the Ivory Coast.

First chance of the game as Ivory Coast midfielder Franck Kessie pounces onto a loose ball 20 yards out but fires a low drive just wide of the post.

Don't forget you can watch the game on this page.

Ivorian Nicolas Pepe concedes an early free-kick after he tries to lose a defender before putting in a cross.

Ivory Coast v Egypt becomes the most played fixture in the history of the Africa Cup of Nations - their 11th meeting in the tournament.

Egypt have won in their previous four knockout games (two on penalties) including the 2006 final.

Here we go.
