Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Algeria's make-or-break clash with Senegal. Only a victory at Stade de Franceville will suffice for Algeria, although even that will not be enough if second-placed Tunisia avoid defeat against Zimbabwe, or if the latter win by a large enough margin to overhaul the Desert Foxes on goal difference. Aliou Cisse's Senegal, in contrast, have marched into the last eight courtesy of 2-0 victories against those two opponents, as they aim for a 100 per cent record for the first time in their AFCON history. I'm Pete Hall, and I will be bringing you the action, as it happens, live!

HT: Algeria 2-2 Senegal. That's it for the Greens, as they are sent crashing out of the tournament without winning a match. They lead twice on the night, but were pegged back on both occasions. Senegal go through as Group B winners, with Tunisia into the last eight after their 4-2 win over Zimbabwe. Thanks for joining us. Goodbye.

Mahrez has come inside now to try and link up with Brahimi. Time running out for the Greens.

CHANCE! Real chance for Mahrez after great work from Ghezzal to pull the ball back for the Leicester man, but he gets underneath his effort and side-foots over.
86'
Mahrez with great work down the right flank, his cross is dangerous, but it is cleared at the second attempt.

CHANCE! Sow should do much better with a volley from just inside the box, but he fires straight at the goalkeeper as the ball came out of the sky.
83
Ghoulam again with the cross from the left, but that is easy for N'Diaye to gather.
82'
Ghoulam whips a cross into the middle, it hits Gueye, faints appeals for handball go up, but the referee is having none of it.
80'
Slimani looks like he is an agony on the bench. Not a sight Leicester fans will want to see.

There will be no hat-trick for Slimani, as Baghdad Bounedjah replaces the Leicester hitman.

He really should...

Midfielder N'Diaye makes way as Senegal make another change, with Everton's Idrissa Gueye entering the fray.

MISS! That really should be the hat-trick for Slimani. Hanni delightfully threads the ball through, and with just the keeper to beat, Slimani drags his effort wide.

Sow thinks he is through on goal, but the linesman's flag denies him. Was a very, very tight call.

Diedhiou didn't take long to get his name in the referee's book, after leaping into a challenge.

Late challenge on Mahrez leaves the Leicester man in a heap. Gets up quickly and seems to be okay.
70'
Change of tactics for Senegal now, as they seem to have gone with three at the back. Cisse really mixing things up.

Mbodji's game is over, as he is replaced by Famara Diedhiou for Senegal.
