Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the African Cup of Nations semi-final between Mali and Ivory Coast from the Stade del'Amitie in Libreville.

Tamboura's deep cross is put behind for a corner by Gosso.

Ivory Coast coach Francois Zahoui is looking pretty serious on the touchline. He knows the job isn't done yet.

Drogba and Yaya play an exchange, but the ball is cleared. Yaya has been excellent today.

Are Mali heading for a fourth successive semi-final defeat?

Mali have made a substitution as Drissa Diakite is replaced by Ousmane Coulibaly.

We are underway again in Libreville.

That's half-time! Gervinho gives Ivory Coast a 1-0 half-time lead.

No one got a challenge in on the Arsenal man and he made them pay.

GOAL! MALI 0-1 IVORY COAST. Gervinho collects the ball from Yaya Toure inside his own half and dribbles right the way into the area and curls right-footed into the far corner!

Mali's service up to Diabate has been poor so far.

Kalou's weak shot does not trouble Diakite after some good build-up play from Ivory Coast.

Kalou curls a left-footed shot over the bar from just outside the area.

Yaya plays the ball out to Kalou who dribbles before crossing into the box back to the Man City player but it's good defending from Drissa Diakite who reads the danger.

Drogba's touch in the box lets him down after an excellent pass from Yaya Toure.

Drissa Diakite's cross is too long and goes out for an Ivory Coast throw.

Sow is fouled by Gosso in the middle of the pitch and Mali have the free-kick.

Ivory Coast have progressed to the final in just two of their seven semi-final appearances at the Cup of Nations.

Samba Diakite gets in a good sliding tackle on Gosso.

Gosso dispossesses Tamboura down in the corner. Good defending.

Drogba holds up the ball superbly, eludes the defender, but drags his shot wide of the far post. It is that sort of play that has made him such a menace over the years.
