SERI FOULED
The midfield buys a free kick on the wing from Sacko who rushes to close him down.
IVORY COAST JUST HOLDING ON
Right now, they're showing no ambition at all. It feels like extra time beckons.
MALI PRESSING HIGH
They're looking for an opening but Ivory Coast are sitting back.
Mali
HAIDARA CHANCE
He lets fly from 30 yards out, and it dips just in front of the keeper's dive, who pushes it away.
CORNER FOR MALI
It's met at the near post by Kouyate, but he sends it well over and behind the back post.
WE GO AGAIN
Haller on for Kouame, Boly on for Aurier.
IVORY COAST 0-0 MALI
A wild half, back in 15 minutes.
HAIDARA BOOKED
The former Newcastle man goes in with a wild challenge on Aurier and gets himself booked. This is getting zesty.
Yellow card
A. Haidara
Ivory Coast

SIX MINUTES INDICATED
Mali
FREE KICK MISSED NOSS CURLS IT WIDE
He whips a low shot from 25 yards out, centrally placed, just wide to his right.
Ivory Coast
SINAYOKO FOULED! KOUSSOUNOU OFF
The Ivory Coast lose the ball in defence and the ball is quickly worked down the middle to Sinayoko, who brings a foul as the turns him inside out.
Red card
O. Kossounou
GRADEL FOULED
Traore shoves him in the back, and he's down in pain right now.
Ivory Coast
FOFANA MISS
A great pass from Kossounou finds Aurier's run down the right, he cushions the ball to Kouame, who lays the ball back to Fofana only for him to blast over.
Mali
NOSS BOOKED
He looked like he got clattered by Ndicka but it's an overexaggerated effort, and he gets booked for simulation.
Ivory Coast
AURIER BOOKED
A trip on Sinayoko to stop the winger getting away from him down the left, and he goes in the book. He too would miss the quarters.
Ivory Coast
NIAKATE FOULED
A heavy challenge on Niakete from Kouame sees him in the book. He'll miss the next game for Ivory Coast should they go through.
Yellow card
C. Kouamé
TIME FOR A WATER BREAK
The players get the chance to rehydrate and cool down.
KESSIE FOULED
He spins his marker and is tripped, giving Ivory Coast the chance to send in the ball through Aurier. It's deep, put back in from the left wing, and Mali clear.
MALI PLAYING PATIENTLY
Ivory Coast are compact, high up the pitch, and a long ball towards Sinayoko is cleared for a corner.
GRADEL DOWN INJURED
He gets his toes stepped on and winces a little but he's OK to continue.
