FULL TIME. It's all over and Zambia have defeated the hosts Equatorial Guinea 1-0. Both sides are through to the quarter-finals - Zambia as Group A winners.
90'+3
We have one more minute to play here...
90'+1
But Zambia do not commit many men forward and EQG, outnumbering their opponents, clear easily.
90'
Zambia substitute Chamanga forces a late corner.
89'
But there has been a huge gap between midfield and attack for EQG, and substitute Fabiani has looked isolated in attack.
87'
Back here, Paulo Gílson is heading towards his first competitive defeat as EQG coach unless they can conjure something up in these final few minutes.
86'
Senegal heading towards three successive defeats. Who would have thought that before the tournament?
85'
But.... Libya have scored in the other game. It will probably count for little (unless Equatorial Guinea score twice) but Libya now lead Senegal 2-1.
83'
Zambia cruising into the quarter-finals at the moment.
81'
Fabiani is huffing and puffing - and has looked more interested than Fidjeu - but has suffered from a chronic lack of service in this second half.
79'
Balboa goes for goal with a powerful drive that Mweene clings on to.
77'

Zambia's Chansa is replaced by Kasonde as we approach the final ten minutes.
75'
Kalaba cuts in from that left wing, but his shot is charged down.
73'
If things stay the same, Zambia will be rewarded with a quarter-final match against Angola or Sudan.
71'
EQG scrapping for everything at the moment, but they are struggling to create chances as freely as in the first half.
69'

EQG almost draw level through Juvemal's superb free-kick that clears the Zambia wall but, at the last moment, drifts just wide of the left post. Beautiful effort by arguably the best player on the pitch tonight.
68'
There was an interesting celebration to accompany that goal but, more interestingly for Zambia, that goal means they will avoid Ivory Coast.
67'

GOAL! Yes, a GOAL! Katonga has put Zambia 1-0 up with a rare moment of quality in this match. He skips in from the left wing, riding two challenges before firing low inside the bottom corner.
64'
EQG's Fabiani has certainly put himself about a bit since coming on, but chances still at a premium.
62'
Just to remind you, Libya need to beat Senegal to go through otherwise, as things stand, Zambia will take their place in the quarter-finals. Where they will probably face Ivory Coast.
