Afternoon all, and welcome to Nigeria v Ghana!

GOAL! Nigeria (2) 2-1 (1) Ghana (Osimhen) A ball over the top, Djiku can't cut it out and Osimhen races onto it! Wallacott charges out, sells himself, and Osimhen slips gleefully into an empty net ... but was he offside?

But a heavy touch allows Bassey to tackle.

It looks like he's being told to stay in his technical area. Isn't that what the fourth official is for?

Nigeria are going to have most of the ball. I don't know if that's because Ghana are sitting back, knowing the status quo takes them through, but I'd not back their defence to keep a clean sheet for the remainder.

Than the first leg. Ultimately, no one wants to slink out having not even tried to qualify.

And the ball bounces to safety.

And falls. Amartety is booked, livid - he claims a handball, but on replay, it looks like he didn't do much wrong but Djiku did. Nigeria have a free-kick just outside the box, left of the D...

They got lucky against South Africa, getting the dodgiest penalty you've ever seen to qualify for the playoffs. But things went against them in the Comoros game, and again tonight - though in the former they were unlucky, tonight not so much.

GOAL! Nigeria (1) 1-1 (1) Ghana (Troost-Ekong pen) He opens his body and punches into the right side-netting, halfway up, as Wallacott dives the other way. Uzoho is halfway to salvation!

When Lookman dipped inside the box and past Amartey, Odoi sort of ran into him without playing the ball! This is going to be a penalty!

Lookman comes in off the left then Onyeka picks up the ball outside the box, takes a fine first touch that puts it in behind, powers after it, and he's in! The angle's tight, but here he comes ... and Wallacott does really well to smother.

But a terrible touch from Etebo means Ghana can work the ball away.

...And Osimhen waits! But Djiku does superbly to slide in and divert the ball behind.

Did not have the greatest Afcon. I'd bet anything that Nigeria plan to put him under pressure.

Make no mistake about that. and almost immediately, they get the ball into the box, Wallacot making a smart reaction save from Dennis ... just before the flag goes up in any case.

I don't think we can draw too many conclusions from what we've seen so far, but Partey plays with greater authority than any of Nigeria's midfield three, and had the confidence and nous to take a pujnt.

GOAL! Nigeria (0) 0-1 (1) Ghana (Partey) I said that this might be the worst night of someone's life, and right now, it is it! The throw ends up with Partey, a few yards outside the box and towards its left corner. H etakes aim and shots - of course he does, he always does - and it's an alright effort. But Uzoho, who has it covered all the way, half dives over it, half spills it, and his tea must now score at least twice!

Osinhem heads out....
