Senegal 1-1 Mali
1456: The referee blows for full-time at the end of a largely-disappointing match. By topping Group B, Mali have earned a quarter-final place against Group B runners-up Guinea. Senegal, who reached the 2002 Nations Cup final, must play hosts Tunisia in the Rades stadium.
1452: The fourth official signals four minutes of stoppage time at the end of the match.
1450: Bassala Toure hits a bobbling shot from the edge of the Senegalese penalty area that fails to trouble Tony Sylva.
1449: Senegal win yet another corner.
1446: Senegal need another goal if they are to avoid a quarter-final clash with hosts Tunisia, but Sakho clatters Mali keeper Sidibe as he tries to get on the end of Diouf`s curling cross. Sidibe goes down for the second time in the game as he receives treatment.
1440: Ousmane Ndoye replaces Sylvain Ndiaye for Senegal.
1438: Henri Camara wins a corner for Senegal, as the Teranga Lions seek a goal to take first place in the group. Habib Beye directs his glancing header on target from near the penalty spot, but Sidibe clears.
1437: Bassala Toure replaces Mohamed Sissoko, who was on a yellow card, for Mali.
1436: Abdoulaye Demba fails to control a pass into the penalty area when the Mali striker was well-placed to get in a shot.
1434: Diouf almost scores his first goal of the tournament but hits Sidibe`s right-hand post with his left-foot strike across goal from twelve yards out. The strike followed neat build-up play from the Teranga Lions.
1432: Both sides are trying to get behind the opposition defence but neither is showing sufficient quality at the moment. At the end of one Mali move, Seydou Keita strikes from 30 yards but his shot fails to hit the target.
1426: Senegal make a substitution as Lamine Sakho comes on for Mamadou Niang.
1422: Mali boss Henri Stambouli makes his first substitution, bringing on Djibril Sidibe for David Coulibaly.
1420: Abdoulaye Demba and Dramane Traore play a couple of one-two`s on the edge of the box before Demba flicks the ball back to Traore who volleys over from ten yards under pressure from Habib Beye`s timely challenge.
1417: Camara breaks clear down the left-hand side of the penalty area but his cross is turned behind for another corner. From the kick, Salif Diao`s strike from the edge of the box is quickly blocked.
1416: Senegal win another corner, but Camara`s cross is headed clear. Mali break forward only to be caught offside.
1413: Diouf tees up Niang with a fine pass, allowing the Strasbourg a free run at goal from 30 yards out. Niang sidefoots at goal, but Sidibe pulls off a fine stop getting down low to his left. The ball hits the side netting as it goes behind for a corner which comes to nothing.
1412: Salif Diao is booked for a late tackle on Mali scorer Dramane Traore.
1411: Traore clears Diouf`s cross behind for a corner but the kick comes to nothing.
1410: Sammy Traore, who has been having verbal altercations with Diouf all game, is booked for a late tackle on the Senegalese forward. Senegal have a free-kick ten yards outside the Mali penalty area.
1408:Senegal captain Pape Malick Diop and Mali`s Mohamed Sissoko both go down for treatment after taking knocks in two consecutive but different tackles.
1406: Senegal get the second half underway. There are no half-time substitutions.
1349: The referee blows for half-time in a game spoiled by fouls but which has delivered two goals late in the period.
1346: GOAL Senegal 1-1 Mali
Midfielder Habib Beye scores in the second minute of stoppage time as he gets ahead of his marker in the 6-yard box to head home Henri Camara`s well-flighted free-kick from ten yards outside the Mali penalty area.
1345: The fourth official signals four minutes of added time at the end of the first half.
1343: El Hadji Diouf receives a new shirt from the touchline, after one of his numbers had fallen off.
1341: Sidibe bravely saves at the feet Mamadou Niang after first blocking El Hadji Diouf`s attempt on goal after the Liverpool player volleyed at goal from ten yards out. Sidibe receives treatment after Niang appears to have trod on his arm while both players contested the loose ball in the 6-yard box.
1338: Senegal`s Henri Camara plays a low through pass to a sprinting El Hadji Diouf on the edge of the box, but Sidibe gathers before the two-time African Footballer of the Year can get a touch on the ball.
1337: The numbers on the back of El Hadji Diouf`s shirt now start to fall off as well.
1333: GOAL Senegal 0-1 Mali
Mali score a goal out of nothing after Dramane Traore rises well to powerfully head home a hopeful cross into the box from the right flank. A very good header, which nestles in the top left-hand corner, from the tall Malian striker in his first chance of the match.
1330: Mali`s Mahamadou Diarra knocks the ball out of player so that his team-mate Dramane Traore can receive treatment. The break in play allows Diao, with a new shirt, back onto the field.
1328: Senegal`s Salif Diao goes off the pitch after the number `15` on the back of his shirt comes off. He has to stand on the side, hands on hips in the technical area, waiting as a replacement shirt is looked for.
1325: Senegal`s Lamine Diatta clears off his own goalline after a mix-up in the Teranga Lions` defence. Abdoulaye Demba had the strike on target from ten yards that was dribbling towards an empty Senegalese net after keeper Tony Sylva was beaten in the defensive confusion.
1323: The game has yet to provide any real action, and has been littered by fouls so far.

1300 GMT: Mali, dresssed in green shirts and yellow shorts, kick off the game in the El Menzah stadium.
