53'
The flag is up on Tiene after he is played in down the left - looked onside to me!
52'
Gervinho runs it out on the left as Ivory Coast look to take this game by the scruff of its neck.
51'
I have no idea what Nigeria were doing there - there was no marking, not man, not zonal, nothing. They were bunched around the near post having a cup of tea or something, Shocking.
50'
GOAL IVORY COAST! Terrible marking by Nigeria as Tiote arrives unmarked at the far post to head Drogba's free-kick home. Awful defending.
49'
Drogba skins Ambrose, great skill, and he wins a free-kick despite going down a bit theatrically.
48'
Nigeria slow the tempo down now they are on the ball, stroking it around the back. And why not?
47'
Free-kick Nigeria on the right, but Ivory Coast clear. Eboue on a mazy run, he feeds Kalou, who goes down in the area but is booked for diving!
46'
The second half is underway, with Kalou and Drogba playing a one-two as Ivory Coast start promisingly.
45+1
Half-time and Nigeria deservedly lead 1-0 through that Emenike free-kick.
45'
Romaric to take - and he curls the free-kick over the wall but it doesn't dip in time.
44'
Eboue is tugged to the floor by Mikel so Ivory Coast have a free-kick on their right.
43'
That was a stunning strike, the movement on the ball deceiving Barry. but it went straight through him though. Goalkeeping error, forced by the pace on the ball.
42'
GOAL NIGERIA! Onazi touches the free-kick to Emenike, who blasts a ferocious strike past Barry! What a strike!!!
41'
Romaric is spoken to after a foul on Emenike. All very scrappy now.
40'
Drogba to take then - but it hits the wall and, as Enyeama dithers over claiming it, he is given a free-kick for a foul by Toure. Soft.
39'
Another delay as Ivory Coast win a free-kick around 35 yards from goal, a touch to the left. Drogba territory now...
38'
My mistake - the ref DID see that and he books Toure. It was just somewhat belated.
37'
Worrying for Naija - Moses is down hurt. Toure with a sneaky arm out to prevent him running outside for the one-two, the ref missed it. Obviously.
36'
Now they switch to attack but, after a promising move sees Toure slip it wide, Tiene overhits his cross from the left wing.
35'
Ivory Coast have decided that they were lacking in possession so are knocking it about the back to get a feel for the ball.
34'
Drogba is penalised for a handball as he turns in the box to fire in a shot, which Enyeama tipped wide anyway. Poor reffing as he took that on his chest, as clear as day.
