    39'
    Another long ball almost sends Oukri clean through, the bounce leaving Nigeria's defence for dead, but Enyeama stays calm to gather.
    38'
    Long throw from Echiejele, the keeper doing well to hold on to it after colliding with his own defender.
    37'
    Moses puts the ball in but the ref blows his whistle to halt some holding. Finally the ball comes in, deep again, out for a Nigeria throw on the left.
    36'
    Poor throw by Girma, Nigeria on the offensive but Ambrose's cross is blocked behind for a corner.
    35'
    Said is isolaed up front, in that the two wide men accompanying him are not really getting much on the ball.
    34'

    Moses with a fine corner to Echiejele deep towards the far post, good leap and a powerful header but the keeper is well placed to parry!
    33'
    Great long pass by Mikel that sends Emenike through, the keeper flies out and it ricochets off both for a corner.
    32'
    Moses cuts in from the left, back to Mikel but he overhits the pass aimed for Emenike.
    31'
    MBa goes in a bit high but just a free-kick, no card.
    30'
    Ethiopia with a free-kick on the left - great ball in and it bounches at the far post but Okwury can't reach it and the ball goes wide!
    29'
    Taken short to Moses but he is closed down quickly and the ball rolls out fo a goal kick. That was Ambrose's fault, inexplicably passed it short when Moses didn't exactly have space.
    28'
    Moses is fouled again on the right wing this time, Elias with the block.
    27'
    Said again gives chase to a long ball but again it's easy for Enyeama. Long ball it is then.
    26'
    Moses almost sends Uche clean through but he overhits the pass. Mikel wanted a simple ball so he could build a proper attack.
    25'
    Moses is the key man for Nigeria, he picks out Ogude nicely and Uche flicks it on for Echiejele but he hammers a poor effort well over.
    24'
    Poor kick out from Enyeama and Ethiopia could be in - Tekle thinks he was fouled but the ref waves him away. Now Said gives chase to a long ball, Oboabona there to nod back to Enyeama though.
    23'
    Said gets in space down the left but Oboabona clears to touch for a corner. Dawit to take, and Enyeama stays on his line as no-one makes contact and the ball bounces behind!
    22'
    Ambrose and Uche both dive in to meet Moses's free-kick but the latter heads well over.
    21'

    Emenike is fouled by Elias and the Ethiopia defender is the first man to be booked today.
    20'
    Emenike tries to release Moses but the keeper watches it roll out. After a good start, Nigeria have softened their approach.
    19'
    Mba wins a free-kick off Girma in the middle of the park.
