34'
Mesbah takes up a decent position out wide. Far too much air under the cross for Yeboah to claim the ball unchallenged.
33'
Wonder if any Premier League sides will be watching this match tonight? Still the chance of getting a deal or two done before the window closes.
32'
Boudebouz looking very lively so far in this contest as he thumps a shot over the bar from distance. Plenty of power on that without the direction.
31'
Remember you can follow all the action in that match LIVE with Reda Maher.
30'
Now 1-1 in the match between Togo and Tunisia in the other match in the section.
29'
Soudani fires a shot across the face of the Ivory Coast goal. Not too sure what Yeboah was doing there. The goalkeeper looking very unsure.
28'
For a meaningless match, this hasn't been bad at all. Mesbah with a late tackle on Kalou.
27'
Soudani is down on the deck after colliding with Igor Lolo in the air. No intent there from the Ivory Coast player.
26'
Drogba inches wide of the target. Lovely free-kick. So close with Mbolhi well and truly rooted to the goalline.

Lacen stands on Drogba's toe. And that is a free-kick which Drogba may well take. Lacen has been booked for his challenge.
24'
Or who knows? Some may stay on to support Ivory Coast in the latter stages. The Group D winners continue to look the likelier side here.
23'
The Algerian fans in the smallish crowd seem happy enough with their lot despite being consigned to a plane home after tonight.
22'
Kolo Toure just fails to pick out Drogba with a long, hopeful ball.
21'
Togo holding a 1-0 lead over Tunisia in the other Group D match as they bid to join Ivory Coast in the last eight.
20'
Yeboah spills a cross ball, but gets away with it as he snares possession at the second attempt.
19'
Both teams getting the ball on the deck and rolling it around. Some nice stuff for a dead rubber. Teams obviously relaxed with their lot.
18'
Kalou throws in a corner at pace. Mbolhi is quickly off his line. Manages to get a vital touch to nudge the loose ball away from danger.
17'
Belkalem across to block the effort by Kalou. Should have hit that earlier. Corner to Ivory Coast.

Great ball in by Boudebouz at pace. Yeboah comes off his line at pace, but misses the ball as it finally drops to safety. Ivory Coast fortunate to survive that moment.
15'
Probably less than 10,000 fans in this stadium that can hold over 40,000.

Romaric with a long ball. Comes off the back of Drogba's head. Falls to Kalou who lifts the shot miles over the bar. Poor finish.
