  It's all over here in Port Elizabeth and Mali will be relieved to have come away from this tie with all three points. It wasn't a classic by any stretch of the imagination but that man Seydou Keita came to his side's rescue once again and bagged the all-important winner. Thank you for joining me and good night.

  Niger have upped the tempo as they go in search of an equaliser but their long-ball tactics are not troubling Mali.

  Alhassane Dante replaces Issiaka Koudize for Niger.

  88
•

  Niger get a good block on Diabate just as he looks to latch on to a long ball forward from Traore.

  75
• 

  Good chance for Niger as Maazou just heads over a corner from the left from Issoufou.

  73
• 

  Tamboura's cross into the box is too close to Daouda who plucks the ball out of the air.

  Sidibe gets his head to a flighted ball in the box but he can't get any pace on the ball and Samassa makes a comfortable save.

  The match has, for the moment, descended into a tense midfield battle with both sides trying their hardest to maintain possession.
