End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL-TIME: Egypt qualify as Group A winners, but it was far from plain-sailing for the hosts. Uganda progress to the knockout stages as the runners-up.
90'+4
Morsy El Mohadamady takes a horrible fall but thankfully he's able to gather himself and somehow he seems to be fine.
90'+2
Egypt sub: Omar Gaber replaces the captain and goalscorer Elmohamady.
90'
There will be FIVE minutes of added time to play.
89'
Lwanga goes into the book.

88'
There's not much happening at the moment so take a moment to watch Salah's majestic free-kick once more...
87'
Salah breaks the offside trap to control a diagonal ball, takes it down and shoots from an acute angle. But it's a disappointing effort - over the bar.
85'
Into the last five minutes and both sides are seemingly happy with the current scoreline. There's no urgency from anyone.
83'
Egypt haven't scored a goal in the second-half in this tournament. They have yet to concede a goal but their defence has been made to look quite vulnerable tonight. Uganda simply haven't had any luck.
81'
Goal update: Middlesbrough's Britt Assombalonga makes it 4-0 to DR Congo. What a result that is!
79'
Uganda are a really dangerous outfit and no one will be looking forward to playing them in the knockout stages. It'll be either Senegal or Kenya in the next round.
78'
Safe in the knowledge they have a place in the knockout stages for the first time in their history wrapped up, Uganda manager Desabre will lose little sleep over this defeat.
75'
Just wide! What a chance this is. Okwi runs 50 yards to latch onto a ball over the top, he beats the goalkeeper to the chase, lifts it over him but can only watch it agonisingly bounce a couple of inches wide of the post.
72'
It is extremely hot in Cairo and Onyango looked quite faint as he made his way off the pitch. Let's hope it's nothing serious.
70'
Double Uganda change: Taddeo Lwanga replaces Aucho, while their goalkeeper Onyango has picked up an injury and makes way for Robert Odongkara.

Goal update: Zimbabwe 0-3 DR Congo. They're cruising to third-place now.
67'
If the result remains the same, Salah's beautiful free-kick will steal the headlines but it shouldn't overshadow how poor Egypt have been tonight.
63'
Egypt sub: Tarek Hamed replaces Elneny in midfield.

62'
How much longer can Egypt withstand this pressure? This has been a below-par performance from the hosts.
60'
How did that not go in? Aucho drills a dangerous ball across the face of goal - it's begging to be finished - but somehow Okwi slices it wide!
