الحمد لله مصر بطل افريقيا للمره الثالثه على التوالى

62’ – John Obi Mikel with a shot from the edge of the box… it’s behind for a goal kick to Ghana.

63’ – A cross toward Obafemi Martins but Lee Addy beats him in the air.

64’ – Free kick to Ghana on the right but Samuel Inkoom’s long ball is hopeful rather than accurate.

65’ – Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu with a low shot! Easy save at his near post for Vincent Enyeama!

66’ – Yusuf Mohammed looks for a long ball down the right channel for Obafemi Martins but the striker can’t get onto it.

67’ – Nigeria substitution: Yusuf Ayila makes way for Obinna Nsofor.

68’ – Into the final quarter of regulation time. Ghana still hold a 1-0 lead but Nigeria have looked dangerous in the second half…

69’ – Nigeria have Yakubu Aiyegbeni warming up on the sidelines.

70’ – Obafemi Martins controls a long ball in the box, can he get a shot away? No, good defending from Isaac Vorsah and Samuel Inkoom to close down the striker!

71’ – Nigeria substitution: Peter Odemwingie comes off and Yakubu Aiyegbeni is on. The Everton striker takes the captain’s armband from the man he replaced.

72’ – Elderson Echiejile drives a ball across the box, it hits Yakubu Aiyegbeni on the thigh right in front of goal and goes wide!

73’ – If Nigeria don’t get back into this they will have only themselves to blame after missing so many chances!

74’ – Can Ghana hold on for these last 16 minutes? The Black Stars are so close to a place in the final…

75’ – Corner to Nigeria. Obinna Nsofor takes it… that’s dreadful. Straight out of play for a goal kick to Ghana!

76’ – Yakubu Aiyegbeni runs onto a ball in the box but he isn’t strong enough to hold off Rahim Ayew shoulder-to-shoulder and the chance is gone!

77’ – Obafemi Martins runs onto a long ball and he’s free of the defenders! He can’t get a shot away as the ball never drops kindly for him! Richard Kingson puts it behind for corner!

78’ – The Super Eagles must be wondering what on earth they have to do to hit the back of net. Nothing has gone right for them in the penalty area this evening…

79’ – Another long ball but this time its straight through to Richard Kingson.

80’ – Nigeria substitution: Yusuf Mohammed has been stretchered off injured and Chidi Odiah is on in his place.

81’ – Haminu Dramani with a long range shot and it’s well off target. It helps to waste a little time, though…

82’ – A cross from Chidi Odiah on the right but its straight into the hands of Richard Kingson. The Ghana keeper hasn’t put a foot (or hand) wrong tonight.

83’ – A lovely cross from Chinedu Obasi and again Richard Kingson does well! The keeper drops the ball but he is fouled by Obinna Nsofor and Ghana have a free kick

84’ – Ghana substitution: Asamoah Gyan is replaced by Matthew Amoah.

85’ – Yellow card: Samuel Inkoom brings down Obinna Nsofor and is cautioned by the referee.

86’ – Super, super defending from Ghana. They are holding Nigeria at bay superbly at the moment.
