Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE coverage of Niger against DR Congo from the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth. A 6pm start in this match.

There goes the final whistle! A 0-0 draw. Niger earn their first point in this tournament. Both teams still in the finals. But DR Congo need to beat Mali to progress.

Talatou fires the shot at goal from 22 yards out, but Kidiaba springs to his left to prevent the ball from hitting the net. Real chance to play in a team-mate. Should have perhaps have looked for a companion rather than trying to hit the net.

DR coach Claude Le Roy not looking too displeased deep into stoppage time.

We are into five minutes of time added on in Port Elizabeth.

Time ticking down now as Niger throw the ball long.

Issa Modibo Sidibé departs to be replaced by Alhassane Issoufou for Niger.

Kassaly down on the deck in his own area needing a spot of treatment.

Dan Kowa has escaped with some late challenges this evening. Mbokani the latest to feel his attentions.

Kassaly comes off his line to shove the ball out of his area. Wasn't the most convincing piece of handling, but gets the ball out of his box.

A booking here for Mbokani. Assume that must be for dissent.

Niger needing this goal more than DR Congo, who would go through with a win over Mali in their final game. Unless there is a goal here.

Mbokani caught by a perfect sliding challenge from Dan Kowa. Took a huge risk making that challenge.

Anderlecht's Mbokani could well be the match-winner here if DR Congo can engineer a path to goal.

An offside flag is raised against Mbokani. This game well and truly in the melting pot.

Tonji has been booked for a late tug on Makiadi as he threatened to race clear. I think that is called taking one for the team.

Mbokani just fails to connect with a one-two moving forward. Much better movement from the DR Congo side, who have been disappointing in this second period.

Tonji takes over from Koudize for Niger. Little surprise. His tackling is a liability.

Issiaka Koudize on the ground again after he throws in another poor, poor tackle.

DR Congo on the attack again, but a move breaks down 30 yards from the Niger goal. Seems to have been the story of most of the night.

Koudize is down on the deck and requiring some attention after over extending his leg in a challenge.
