Algeria v Guinea: Africa Cup of Nations, Round of 16 – Live! | Soccer

45 min Benlarmi brings the ball to Kante. In one way or another, he avoids a reservation – it was a much worse fault than the one for which Guediora was booked.

43 min Atal rushes to the right and finds Mahrez, who walks on the ball after misinterpreting his course along the bumps. It's not unamusing.

41 min Algeria is talking about it. It's one of the most confident and organized teams in the competition. They have individuals who can change the course of things, but they also play in cohesion.

39 min Bounedjah walks away from his man and tries to attack the box, then walks on the ball instead. You absolutely hatred see this.

38 min Bounedjah drifts to the right and finds Atal, whose cross is easily recovered by Kone.

36 min You know what, this kit Guinea is a belter.

34 min Charming Bounedjah, coming deep to turn around and feed Fegouli, rushing into space. He feeds Mahrez, whose first contact is glorious, driving away from Diawara before rejoining Falette, but Sylla is very good at sneaking and slipping between the man and the balloon.

33 min Belaili, inside his own box, tries to hide himself outside Sulla, pressing him, but loses the ball and places his fingers in the face. On the outburst, Sylla crashed but the referee did not foresee any penalty. Another that VAR might have given; another who could do without being given.

31 min Dyrestam darkens right and pbades over a cross to the back post, looking for Yattara. But Atal is there to dissuade him and Algeria brings the ball back.

30 minutes Guinea receives a good part of the ball, but does very little with it.

29 min Guediora to Feghouli, who pbades a ball between Bounedjah and Koné … Bounedjah could get it but inexplicably control his race.

27 min Algeria is also much faster and away from the game. The decision to let most of its first XI rest for the last group match works well.

It's very nice, Belaili to move the ball into Bounedjah and run away with Seka daydreaming. He accepts the return and pbades a deceptively easy end in the far corner!

23 min Algeria forces consecutive corners and when the second faces Belaili, he heads to the back post, where Bounedjah head over his head.

20 min Aaaarrrggghhh! Guediora throws Bounedjah on a beautiful ball, before opening his body, before opening his body at home, before hitting the bar after eight meters. It's a very stupid behavior.

20 min Guinea pulls too many long balls in Kante, but plays pretty well otherwise.

17 min Guediora, on a yellow card, slips through someone – I think it was Diawara – and somehow avoids a repetition.

17 min Guinea moves nicely through the midfield, but Yattara tries to waltz around two men and Benlamri settles.

15 minutes Algeria must advance the ball faster and move more men forward.

14 min Mandi hits Kante while the match is hotly disputed and the referee reserves Guediora, who was also present.

13 min A long ball over the top finds Bounedjah and he controls, takes a touch and strokes a riser inside the neat pole. The referee believes that Falette has progressed over time, but I'm not sure at all.

12 min Incidentally, from the quarters, VAR will be with us. Chauette!

11 min Bennacer and Kante face the air balloon inside the box, the latter carrying the forearm of the old. There is little negligence, but VAR would probably impose a penalty during the review.

10 minutes Bennacer in Belaili so that Falette loads to slide it, avoiding a card.

9 min This game is not set yet. Algeria needs Feghouli.

7 min Mahrez flee while Belaili engages Guediora; he slices a wide and wide reader.

6 min Mahrez walks past Camara, who blames him because he can not resist the occasion; It's a yellow card and a 25-meter free-kick, almost the dead center. Or "Mahrez territory", as we also call it.

4 min Nice Sylla, rushing to the left and exchanging pbades with Traore and Camara. He is out of position, so Bensebaini returns to M'Boli, who pbades behind his leg … and is stolen by Kante! But the ball is turning well for Algeria and the goal is clear.

3 min CAF needs to find a way to get more fans involved in these games. They should insist that spare parts be distributed to local schools or others.

2 min Belaili takes the curling kick himself to the back post. Mandi is standing, but he can not understand.

2 min Traoré goes down Belaili, giving Algeria an opportunity to place a ball in the box on the left, 25 yards away.

I must note that Naby Keita is missing for Guinea. He is wounded.

Ah, without our knowledge, the players are out. It's the footballers who are singing at the moment.

I wonder how much Algeria will be bold tonight. On the one hand, they want an open game; on the other, they do not want to be caught at the counter. In football tournaments, teams tend to eliminate risk, but in this match, I expected it to be a leveler.

"I want you to know that Gradel alone has kept a terrible Toulouse team in Ligue 1", email Alexandre Chesneau. "Could Zaha do it on a rainy night in Amiens? That's what I thought. "

I can not wait for Arsenal to sign it when it turns out they can not get Zaha for £ 25 and a set of tracksuits.

Players go to their fans – they are absolutely buzzing – while Bolasie wipes sodium chloride and H20 from her eyes.

It's amazing from Madagascar, making their first appearance in the competition! First, they pushed Nigeria to win the group, and now that!

Bolasie slips on the bar with sadness!

Mombris sees the goalkeeper go, so the ball goes to the middle of the goal. If Yannick Bolasie misses, the DRC is out!

M'Poku goes to the center and gets away, that's right.

Fountain makes Ngumbi with the eyes, sweeping him in the side net.

Bakambu takes his foot and finds the net close to half.

Metanire hits home and sends Ngumbi the wrong way.

Tisserand leans back, chooses his place and kicks over the bar!

Madagascar and the DRC will soon shred their nerves and risk their reputation for our delectation.

Looking at the draw, things were very good for Senegal; Benin, followed by one of the teams below, is considering a fairly generous run for the final. The lower half of the draw, however, is more difficult to unravel. Côte d'Ivoire has the strongest team, but probably not the strongest; Currently, Wil Gradried Zaha is held aloof by Max Gradel. Yes I know. They could easily lose to Mali tomorrow, and face the winners tonight; Nigeria will probably beat South Africa in the other quarter.

Word to the wise man Madagascar and the DRC are stuck at 2-2 with five minutes of extra time remaining. It's a very good match that deserves to be settled by

proficiency test under pressure
lottery which is a shooting session on goal. The winners will then face Ghana or Tunisia.

As for Guinea, they bring two changes: in front, Kante replaces Kaba and behind him, Camara replaces Kamano.

So Algeria is returning to what is now, without a doubt, its first XI, and the one who beat Senegal – there is no place for Ounas. In fact, I think it may be more of a 4-1-4-1 than a 4-3-3, with Guediora in front of the last four, but we'll see.

Algeria (4-3-3): M'Bolhi; Atal, Mandi, Benlamri, Bensebaini; Guedioura, Bennacer, Feghouli; Mahrez, Bounedjah, Belaili.

Guinea: (4-2-3-1): Kone; Dyrestam, Seka, Falette, Sylla; Cisse, Diawara; Yattara, Camara, Traore; Kante.

Algeria has qualified for this stage by beating Kenya, Senegal and Tanzania; Guinea qualified for this stage by making a draw with Madagascar, leaning against Nigeria and beating Burundi, a victory to ten. That's to say it's pretty obvious what's going to happen tonight … except that it's football, and nothing is ever obvious. Just ask Egypt.

One can question on how Guinea stops Algeria. If they sit down, they allow Riyad Mahrez and Sofiane Feghouli to dominate possession of the ball and recover pbades in the area; if they continue, Mahrez and Feghouli still dominate the possession and slip the pbades behind. There were better choices.

Guinea is likely to follow the previous method and hope to resist, which could encourage Djamel Belmadi to retain Adam Ounas. He fought in the last group match and scored two goals; its revolutionary quality could be useful tonight.

Coup de send: 20h local time.
