    Time:90'
    • Senegal
    • South Africa
    • 90+7 The final whistle has blown in a hugely entertaining match that ends in heartbreak for both sides! Thanks for joining us, see you in the knockout stages!
    • 90+4 Tshabalala gets to the byline. He has a look and tries an AUDACIOUS CHIP... OFF THE POST!!! WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO DO TO SCORE?!
    • 90' Maybe not though, as there is a massive seven minutes of stoppage time!
    • 89' Van Heerden feeds Davids to chip over a great cross for ZUMA... Headed wide! That was THE chance to win this match!
    • 87' That set piece is cleared too. It's still goalless in Tamale, it looks as though both of these sides are going out.
    • 86' Senegal have a corner that's easily glanced away. South Africa try to break but find themsleves exposed and it's another Senegalese corner.
    • 82' Sougou replaces Diomansy Kamara. His first effort is to curl in a great cross for WAIGO... The diving header is steered wide! This is a great spell of the match!
    • 81' Van Heerden bounds into the box and leaps over a challenge and pulls it back for MORIRI.. The is blcoked! What a chance!
    • 80' Full back Bryce Moon makes way for Davids.
    • 77' Modise drives at goal and SHOOTS... Saved by Coundoul. Modise wanted to atone for his error just moments ago, but the keeper was equal to it.
    • 75' Diomansy Kamara tries an effort from the edge of the box, but it's blocked. South Africa fly up the other end and Zuma twists and turns in the box but has to pass to Tshabalala, who passes to Modise... They waste too much time and the chance goes begging.
    • 74' It remains to be seen how much added time there will be because of all the time spent patching up Josephs. The momentum has really gone out of this match, but they should be fighting to the last.
    • 72' Josephs is now receiving MORE treatment to his knees. Just bring on the other guy for pity's sake!!
    • 68' A bit of head tennis in the area and Henri Camara heads an effort way over the bar.
    • 64' Josephs has really been in the wars in this match, now he's having a cut on the same leg as before attended to! What a trooper!
    • 62' South Africa have the ball on the right wing. The cross comes in and ZUMA... GREAT REACTION SAVE BY COUNDOUL!! The shot was a nice height but it was at close range. How important could that save prove to be?
    • 59' Mamadou Niang comes of for Waigo Ndaiye.
    • 56' A fantastic sweeping move forward sees Zuma play in TSHABALALA FOR THE SHOT... JUST WIDE! That would have been the goal of the tournament! Tshabalala started the move, with Modise, Zuma and Masilela all involved in the build up!
    • 52' Josephs is down receiving treatment, he took a knock after intercepting Camara. He's had his knee strapped up and will continue.
    • 50' Tshabalala has his back to goal and is hauled over by Sall... NO PENALTY!! Tshabalala is booked for diving! A very harsh decision.
    • 48' Zuma comes in from the left and his shot is blocked but rebounds to TSHABALALA... The shot is blocked! The ball is fired straight upfield for Henri Camara to chase. Josephs is quick off his line and JUST gets a touch to take it away from him.
    • 47' Diop gets himself to the byline but is dispossessed with an excellent tackle by Masilela.
    • 46' No changes from either side and the second half is underway!
    • 45+1' Half time is called by referee Kotey, and an entertaining opening period comes to a close. It's still 0-0 in the other match, but that could all change quick as a flash!
    • 42' Niang breaks into the box with great pace but he's on his left foot and can't make the shot. South Africa go straight up the other end and ZUMA... Fired into the sidenetting!
    • 39' Pape Malick Ba gives some backchat to the referee and gets booked for his troubles!
    • 37' GOAL!! Mokoena slips and allows Camara into the box. The West Ham striker checks, looks up, and slots a cool finish under Josephs into the bottom corner! Senegal back on terms!
    • 35' A nice bit of play by Senegal gets Niang into the area and he pulls it back for DIOP who fires over the bar! He had loads of time on the edge of the box, more than he thought anyway.
    • 33' Diomansy Kamara chases down a lost cause and keeps the ball in right on the line. He has to jump out of the way as Masilela comes steaming in to clear his lines! It's been a gutsy performance by SA in this half. Senegal, with all their internal problems, just don't look like they have thje stomach for this fight.
    • 27' Mamadou Niang heads towards goal. He checks his run and cuts inside two men and SHOOTS... The shot is dragged wide. How we expected more from Niang in this tournament.
    • 25' Still goalless between Tunisia and Angola, meaning that both of these sides are still out as it stands at the moment.
    • 22' Henri Camara controls a long ball on the edge of the box... Excellent tackle by Modise! He plays it forwarsd and Zuma SHOOTS FROM THE EDGE OF THE BOX... Coundoul saves! It was a solid shot headed for the near bottom corner! Great passage of play by South Africa.
    • 20' Senegal have reasserted the dominance they had beofre the goal, but South Africa are playing with a lot more confidence now.
    • 18' Some really rough challenges going in since the goal, Papa Bouba Diop the latest to be tumbled. Senegal float in the free kick but the ball isn't a good one.
    • 14' Masilela feeds Modise on the left, and the winger swings in a great cross to VAN HEERDEN AT THE FAR POST... IT'S IN!! Elrio van Heerden gets his second goal for South Africa and Bafana Bafana go 1-0 up! In truth it was against the run of play, but a quality goal nonetheless.
    • 12' Sall goes in two-footed in midfield, but the Senegal player gets a talking-to from the referee.
    • 10' Van Heerden is away and bursts into the box on the right-hand side... tripped by Faye! That must be a penalty... NOT GIVEN!! What a lucky escape for Senegal!
    • 8' Zuma sprints towards the box with the ball at his feet and beats one man before being barged over by Ibrahima Faye right on the edge of the box! SA have a free kick... Fired WAY over by Morris!
    • 7' Coundoul fudges a clearance on this bumpy pitch and concedes a throw! This is one of the better grounds of the tournament too.
    • 5' Henri Camara tries to twist and turn past Morris in the box, but the SA defender has him well watched and clears the danger.
    • 2' Senegal win a corner straight away as Mokoena clears. Kamara takes and it's knocked back by Tshabalala for CAMARA... Josephs dives low to save and hold onto it at the near post.
    • 1' Welcome the eurosport.yahoo.com's LIVE coverage of Senegal v South Africa!! Both of these side's could still gualify from Group D if they win and one of Tunisia and Angola lose in their match, so it's still very much all to play for here in Baba Yara! The match is underway!
