50'

Bakambu's cross is dealt with well by Melvin in the Madagascar goal. Meschak's pace is making a deal difference as Congo step it up.

48'

CHANCE! Meschak's corner is met by Mbemba, but again he fails to convert from close range.

45'

Congo have made a change here. Meschak Elia replaces Wilfred Moke.

Second half underway!

45' + 1

Half time here. Madagascar 1-1 Congo.

45'

Just one minute added on as Mulumbu is booked for persistent fouling.

Yellow card

Y. Mulumbu

DR Congo

44'

Akolo breaks forward for Congo, but there is no one up with him. As he slows down, Madagascar sort themselves out at the break and deal with the situation.

42'

Mulimbu fouls Lalaina, allowing Madagascar to break out.

40'

Five minutes until the break and Madagascar have dropped off a little, perhaps understandably. Congo haven't impressed in midfield though. Mulumbu has been poor so far.

36'

Tisserand plays a lovely ball out wide for Akolo who wins a corner for Congo. But it is too low and wasted.

32'

CHANCE! How did Mbemba not finish that?! He was free in the box but skied over on the volley. Congo should lead.

29'

Catch Amada's opener here. Great strike!

26'

Madagascar dominating the ball so far, with 60% of the ball. But you sense Congo will grow into it more after their equaliser.

24'

Amada can't find the target as he did earlier in the game. His kick goes harmlessly over.

23'

Lifeline for Congo, who haven't been at it so far. But Madagascar have a freekick here.

21'

GOOOOOOOAAAAALLL!!! Bakambu gets his third of the tournament to equalise with a superb header. 1-1. Great cross.

Goal

C. Bakambu

DR Congo

17'

First run in behind for Assombalonga, who kept it in before being flagged offside. They need some more of that.

16'

Mbemba commits a foul in midfield after coming out of position. Congo can't get a hold of this one yet.

12'

Madagascar have really impressed so far, Bakambu and Assombalonga haven't had a kick yet.

GOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLL!!! Madagascar lead! Amada with an absolutely superb strike! You can't say they don't deserve it.

Goal

I. Amada

Madagascar

Foul given agaimst Andriatsima after the free kick went through to Matampi.
