49'
Raking ball almost finds Gervinho but it’s a good interception from Kasusula racing back.
48'
Another good run from Aurier, finally on the pitch but his cross doesn’t match it.

Ivory Coast have played the opening two minutes with ten men! Aurier has only just trotted out onto the pitch. Bizarre and could have cost them as Bolasie has a chance that Sylvain saves.
46'
DR Congo proved against Tunisia that they can overturn a deficit to come back. They’ll probably need more from Bolasie in the second half.

We’re back underway here at Estadio de Bata for the second half. Been a highly entertaining match so far.

HALF TIME: DR CONGO 1-2 IVORY COAST
45+1'
Ever since the DR Congo equaliser, it’s been all Ivory Coast. Could be even further ahead than 2-1.
45'
We have two minutes of added time at the end of this half.

Now Gervinho is almost in himself but takes a little too much time and Kasusula is able to make a last ditch tackle.
42'
That was a lovely little pass from Bony to play in Gervinho for his second goal of the tournament but slack defending from DR Congo.
41'
The DR Congo defence were all over the place. Horrible 30-second period for them.

GOAL! Ivory Coast 2-1 DR Congo. Just moments after hitting the bar - and with the DR Congo defence collapsing - Gervinho runs onto a pass and side-foots home!
39'
A superb challenge from an orange shirt sparks an Ivorian counter-attack. Gervinho charges at the opposition defence and is bundled to the ground... No free-kick!
38'
The resulting corner is too close to the theatrical Gbohouo.
36'

CHANCE! Oh, DR Congo should score! The ball breaks to Dieumerci Mbokani at the back stick, but he completely fluffs his effort. Nightmare.
33'
Yaya Toure stands, hands on hips, as Ivory Coast prepare to take a set-piece. DR Congo survive.
31'
Gbohouo holding his knee and there is some concern for the Ivory Coast keeper. They have a good reserve in Barry, fortunately...
30'
SHOTS: DR CONGO 5-2 IVORY COAST
29'
Shot from Tiene from distance but it’s easy for Muteba.

Now Yaya goes into the book for a bit of indiscipline and screams his frustration at the referee.
