Hello everyone. It's time for more African Cup of Nations action, and tonight sees the unbeaten hosts Equatorial Guinea take on Zambia.

Evuy gets forward down the right but the right-back's cross is cut out at source.

Mayuka glances a header towards goal after Kalaba picked him out with another dangerous cross from the right. Just over.

Libya have taken the lead against Senegal, meaning Zambia cannot slip up. You can follow that game

Juvemal goes for goal direct from a free-kick 35 yards out for EQG. Mweene gathers but that was a very decent strike from distance by Juvemal.

Rather open stuff though. Neither side holding back at the moment.

Sinkala gets forward for Zambia but is beaten to the ball buy the alert EQG keeper Danilo again.

Danilo claims a cross as Kalaba whips in a high cross from the right for Zambia. Both sides pushing forward early on.

A very open start in Malabo as Balboa gets into an advanced position down the EQG right, but his cross is plucked from the sky by Mweene.

KICK OFF! Zambia get us underway.

The national anthems have been sung (not briliantly) and a half empty Nuevo Estadio de Malabo is almost ready to go...

Zambia are very much in with a shout of progressing tonight. A draw will see them through, but they need a win if they want to avoid Ivory Coast in the quarter-finals.

Randy and Doe are suspended for EQG, while the hero from their last match, Kily, is rested. Nkausu replaces Kasonde at right-back for Zambia.
