No further action. We go to penalties.

INJURY TIME

One minute added on. Sixty seconds before penalties.

BBC Sport Africa in Yamoussoukro

We are now watching the dying embers of this game through a haze of smoke that has settled over the stadium.

I am not sure what is causing it but it does have the whiff of barbeque about it and there are plenty of outdoor eateries in this city.

Suddenly it is South Africa pushing for the winner as the clock ticks down.
