ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SAYED!
But the Egypt substitute fails to hit the target after creating the space for a shot from inside the box.
72'
CLOSE!
Egypt's best chance of the night! Salah floats in a delicious cross, Sayed has pulled away from his marker but fails to make the goalkeeper work as his header drifts narrowly wide of the far post!
70'
YELLOW CARD
Dieng, on the pitch a matter of moments, is into the referee's notebook already!

EGYPT CONTINUE TO HOLD ON
Senegal stretch Egypt's defence with a dangerous attacking move but the hosts have to settle for a corner and absolutely nothing comes from the resulting set-piece.
65'
OVER!
Gueye wins the debate to take the free-kick as he lines up a shot but it's a good metre over the top of Egypt's bar.
Disappointing effort.
64'
FREE-KICK TO SENEGAL
Mane draws the foul with a lovely bit of footwork, earning Senegal a free-kick in a central area just outside the penalty area.
62'
GOOD DEFENDING
Mane has a shot blocked before Bouna Sarr is challenged inside the penalty area. Egypt are dealing with everything Senegal are throwing at them at the moment.
60'
WE'VE REACHED THE HOUR MARK
A number of fouls has disrupted the game and has prevented it getting into any kind of rhythm.
Long way to go, of course, but as it stands the game will proceed to extra-time.

SENEGAL CELEBRATE
It feels like an awful long time ago now but Dia's fourth-minute goal still separates the sides on the night.
Egypt have been more steady since the restart though and looked to have weathered the storm.
54'
NO PENALTY
Dia spins away inside the Egypt penalty area and goes down under pressure from Ashour. The referee is well positioned and waves play on, much to the dismay of Senegal whose coach Cisse is having a word with the match officials.
The referee is doing well to keep a lid on things.
52'
MORE DRAMA
Players from both sides have to be pulled away from each other after a VAR review for a possible red card for a foul on the edge of Senegal's penalty area comes to nothing.
49'
TAME SHOT
A scuffed effort fails to trouble Senegal goalkeeper Mendy, who has had next to nothing to do this evening.
Salah has been largely anonymous so far.
2nd Half
46'
THE SECOND HALF BEGINS
Senegal get the ball moving to start the second period.

NEXT GOAL IS CRUCIAL
Remember, if Egypt can score, it'll count as an away goal and Senegal will need to score twice more to advance.

Moments before half-time Ashraf was booked for Egypt, the third yellow card the referee showed in an intriguing first half.

HALF-TIME: SENEGAL 1-0 EGYPT
A breathless first half ends with Senegal ahead thanks to Boulaye Dia's fourth-minute goal.
1-1 on aggregate, this tie is finely poised.
45'+4
SLOW PACE
After a frenetic 45 minutes, Senegal are keen to slow down the pace of the game as they wait for the half-time whistle.
