Live Commentary
Time:90'- Guinea
- Morocco
- 90'+3 There it is! All over in Accra! And ten man Guinea hold on for all three points! Their tournament is right back on track, while Morocco's falters...
- 90'+2 Here we go... last chance for Morocco... Fouhami launches it upfield.... flicked on by Hadji, but the ball rolls through to Camara...
- 90' Three minutes of added time to be played! What else does this match have for us?
90' Nothing from the corner! But seconds later Ouaddou dives in to head home from the edge of the six yard box! This one's not over!- 89' Corner now for Morocco! What can they do here?!
- 86' El Moubarki does well to break with the ball at his feet... but his good work is wasted as Morocco lose possession... it's not looking likely now for the north Africans...
- 82' Time running out for Morocco, although they are piling the pressure on the Guinea defence at the moment!
81' And another Guinea change now as they look to wind the clock down... Ibrahima Camara off and Zayette on...- 80' Zerka off and El Moubarki on for Morocco...
- 79' Mansare can hold his head high tonight... he's been Guinea's most dangerous player...
- 78' And another change for Guinea... Sacko on for Mansare...
- 77' Guinea make a change now... Karamoko Cisse comes on to replace Youla...
- 76' Chamakh! Oh, he should do better here! He brings the ball down beautifully, but his shot is sliced wide!
- 75' Fifteen minutes left, and the next five are going to be crucial...
72' Oooh! Chamakh shoulders the ball wide from the corner! Should have done better there, the Bordeaux striker...- 71' Morocco are on the ascendency here! They've got a corner and who would bet against there being more goals in this one?
- 69' Aboucherouane unleashes a thunderbolt! Fortunately for Guinea fans, it's straight at Camara who holds on to it! But with a man extra, Morocco are already looking more likely to get a goal back....
67' And it doesn't let up there! Feindouno gets a red card! He lashes out after a high Moroccan boot and the ref has no choice but to send him off! Morocco are back in this one now!- 66' This game has suddenly come to life! What a breathless few minutes!
- 65' Chamakh already making a nuisance of himself in the Guinea defence... he's inches away from getting his head on a whipped in cross...
- 63' No! GOAL! Feindouno keeps his cool and finds the corner of the net to restore Guinea's two-goal advantage! What a period of play! Three goals in four minutes!
- 62' But whilst we're waiting for the spot kick, Chamakh comes on... is that going to put Feindouno off?
- 61' PENALTY TO GUINEA! Zerka makes his way into the box only to be pulled back by Chretien! And the ref points to the spot!
- 60' GOAL! Aboucherouane gets one back almost immediately for Morocco! And what a strike it is! The subsitute nearly takes the leather off the ball with an absolute corker from 25 yards! 2-1 now!
- 59' GOAL! Bangoura puts Guinea ahead with a superb finish! Feindouno slips his team-mate in, but he still has a lot to do! Cracking finish!
- 58' Zerka over the bar from close range! It's a tough chance to convert, and his volleyed poke loops over the Guinea crossbar...
- 56' Mansare puts in a decent ball into the box... but there's no one there and Fouhami collects under no pressure at all...
- 55' Time for a change... and it's Morocco who make the first one... off goes Kharja and on comes Aboucherouane...
- 50' Hadji well off target next time he goes for goal... nothing to compare those last two efforts...
- 48' Hadji! Oooh! Great effort from the Moroccan! He strikes the ball with the outside of his right boot from 25 yards! It's flying into the top corner until Kemoko Camara gets a hand to it!
47' Jabi goes into the book for leading with an arm... it's not malicious, but warrants a booking nonetheless...- 46' Feindouno looks to find Bangoura with a neat little clipped ball through.... offside!
46' Back underway in Accra!
45'+2 There it is! Half time in Accra and it's a solitary Pascal Feindouno strike that seperates the two sides...- 44' Two minutes of added time to be played...
- 40' Mansare off and running again... he's been the Guineans' best player of the match so far...
- 38' Tempers are just fraying a little now... Feindouno gets involved with Hadji... but everyone keeps their cool in the end and the game goes on...
- 36' Mansare takes it! Ooooh! That's so close! The Nancy man fires it inches over the bar!
- 35' Mansare tricks his way deep into the Morocco half... and he's felled by Erbate 25 yards out... free kick and danger looms once again!
- 32' Five Morocco players over it... they all want to take it! Youla is booked for not getting ten yards... Hadji fires straight into the wall when the free kick is finally taken... disappointing after the build up!
- 31' Free kick now to Morocco... right on the edge of D of the Guinea box, dead centre... danger here.
- 28' Youla hares off down the left hand side... he finds Bangoura with a deep cross... the Dynamo Kiev striker tries to cushion a header down, but Safri is there to make a clearance! Slightly wasted opportunity there...
- 26' Chance for Guinea! A free kick into the box hits Balde and rolls goalwards! Fouhami is there this time to claim, but Guinea threatening from a set piece again!
- 23' Hadji lets fly! Good strike from the Moroccan, but Camara in the Guinea goal is equal to it!
- 22' More good work from Sektioui out on the right... he steps over and delivers a decent looking ball into the box... hacked clear by Balde...
- 20' Real chance here for Sektioui! No, here's flagged offside as he bears down on goal... replays show he was miles off...
- 18' Mohamed Cisse is the first to go into the book tonight... for a high foot on Kissi... he deserves that one...
- 16' It's poor and Guinea break again with Bangoura... who is felled by El Kaddouri's strong challenge... no free kick though...
- 15' Morocco respond well to going behind though... and here's a another corner for the north Africans...
- 12' That goal has got Guinea's qualification hopes back on track!
- 11' GOAL! Feindouno hammers home direct from the free kick! It's an impossible angle, but somehow the Guinean skipper finds a way through! It's poor goalkeeping in fact, and Fouhami doesn't move an inch as the ball flies home at the near post!
- 10' Chance for Guinea to get the ball into the box with a free kick out by the far touchline...
- 8' The crowd isn't huge today, but those that are they are in good voice... there seems to be a 25-piece brass band playing somewhere in the stands!
- 6' It's poor though and Bangoura comes away with the ball... he spreads play to the other side... Chretien is clearly fouled by Zerka, but the ref waves play on! The Moroccan defence get back to break things up though...
- 5' Lovely skills from Sektioui on the left hand side... and he wins the first corner of the game...
- 3' It's a low key opening to the game... well at least by Morocco's standards, who were two up after the first five minutes in their opener!
