Ivory Coast midfielder Franck Kessie is down but DR Congo play on. Eventually play is stopped so he can get treatment for an ankle knock. But he's fine.

Sebastien Haller almost wraps it up!
He runs onto a loose ball, in acres of space, and spots keeper Lionel Mpasi off his line, so tries to chip him but the shot goes wide. He could have run in on goal there.

'Not the cleanest of strikes from Haller'published at 21:27 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February
Ivory Coast 1-0 DR Congo
Gabriel Zakuani
Former DR Congo international on BBC ThreeIt feels like the roof has just come off the stadium!
It is good wide play from Max Gradel, who gets the ball into the box. And Sebastien Haller doesn't hit the finish well, it is not the cleanest of strikes, he hits it into the ground, but it has managed to just creep over Mpasi.
On the balance of play Ivory Coast deservedly ahead.

Sebastien Haller
The hosts lead!
Sebastien Haller gets his first goal at Afcon 2023 and it's a huge one. His hooked volley from a cross looks harmless but it bounces off the ground and loops high into the air above the keeper and under the bar.
