FinishedThank you for joining our live coverage tonight, and we hope to see you again soon for more AFCON action.
-
FinishedThat's it!! It wasn't pretty, but Senegal have ground out an all important win and are through to the quarter-finals. They will face Benin in the last eight after the West African side shocked Morocco on penalties earlier this evening.
End of match
-
90'FT: UGANDA 0-1 SENEGAL!
-
90'Kateregga tries to go by himself down the right wing for Uganda but overruns it and gifts Senegal the ball back. That attack may have been Uganda's last chance.
-
90'Senegal are slowing the game down and keeping the ball in the Uganda half. They look like they may just sneak through here...
-
90'Three minutes of added time here for Uganda to salvage something.
-
87'Uganda still plugging away here, and Senegal's bizarrely conservative approach since taking the lead means they don't look completely comfortable sitting on just the one-goal lead.
-
84'Speaking of which, Mbaye Niang's below-par evening comes to an end as he is replaced by Mbaye Diagne.
-
80'A second substitution for Senegal as Keita Balde Diao replaces Ismaila Sarr.
-
79'This shot is much better than their last effort from a free-kick as the newly arrived Kateregga curls an effort over the wall which Gomis pushes away smartly.
-
78'Kouyate concedes a free-kick around 30-yards out, Uganda looking to line up a shot once again...
-
77'A good attack from Uganda sees Walusimbi break into the penalty area down the left, but Koulibaly is on hand (as always) to clear his cutback away.
-
76'Final change for Uganda as Aucho makes way for Allan Kateregga.
-
75'Senegal break down the left, but Diatta's cutback ends up in Onyango's hands.
-
74'Uganda now with an even more embarrassing foul throw of their own as the ball slides out of Walusimbi's hands.
-
70'Azira tries a right-footed shot from distance, but drags his effort wide of the left post. Uganda not really threatening Senegal here.
-
69'Koulibaly sees yellow now for a crunching slide tackle on Okwi. I have to say, that looked more like a perfectly-timed tackle than a foul...
-
68'A change for Senegal as Saivet makes way for Krepin Diatta.
-
66'Mané ghosts in behind from a throw-in, but miscontrols the bouncing ball with his arm and gives Uganda a free-kick. Not his finest five minutes here.
-
63'Uganda close to a leveller! Aucho volleys back across goal from a corner, but Okwi somehow manages to fluff his lines and present the goalkeeper with the ball from all of two yards out. A late offside flag may have spared his blushes here, however.
-
61'That's two penalty misses in as many games for Sadio Mané now - maybe Senegal should find a new taker...
-
60'And it's saved!! Onyango, who may count himself fortunate to still be on the pitch, saves Mané's effort as he dives down low to his left!
-
58'Penalty to Senegal! Uganda once again the architects of their own downfall as they give the ball away on the edge of their own area, before Mané rounds Onyango and is taken out. The goalkeeper somehow escapes a second yellow.
-
56'Kaddu, who has been rather ineffective up top for Uganda, is replaced by speed demon Allan Kyambadde.
-
54'Uganda having more of the ball now, and Gomis has to be alert to come out and catch a cross swung towards the back post from the left.
-
51'Miya indeed does shoot, but his effort flies over the Senegal crossbar.
-
50'Okwi seemed to slip over in Senegal's half, but the referee has blown for a Uganda free-kick around 30-yards out. Miya is standing over it...
-
48'Senegal keeping the ball well in the opening few minutes of this half, looking to stretch play and seemingly unwilling to take any big risks. The onus could be on Uganda to change something here.
-
45'Uganda get us back underway in Cairo! Will they be able to mount a second-half fightback?
-
45'HT: UGANDA 0-1 SENEGAL! Sadio Mané's goal is all that separates the two sides going into the break. Senegal have been the better side on the whole, but Uganda showed signs that they could get back into this one. See you in 15 minutes for more!
-
45'Gassama has gone down in some discomfort after Okwi stood on his foot down the right. Senegal players asking for a second yellow for the Uganda winger here, but the referee decides to give him one last warning.
-
45'Two minutes of added time in Cairo.
-
44'Miya tries his luck from distance, but Gomis gets down and makes a slightly over-dramatic save to what in truth wasn't a particularly troubling effort.
-
43'Sabaly (a professional footballer, don't forget) is penalised for a foul-throw down the left. Sunday league stuff...
-
40'Okwi fires a cross/shot towards the far post from the free-kick, but it flies past the diving Gomis and just wide of the left stick.
-
38'Uganda win a free-kick in a promising position just outside the box as Sabaly bodychecks Lumala on the right corner of the area.
-
37'Sarr again involved as he rises high to meet a Gueye cross from the left at the back post, but the winger can only head over under pressure from Walusimbi.
-
35'Good chance for Koulibaly as he rushes in to meet the resulting corner unmarked, but he miscues his free header and it goes straight onto the arm of Ndiaye for a Uganda free-kick.
-
34'Sarr again gets away down the right and takes it past Onyango. This time the goalkeeper, who is on a yellow remember, does not dive in recovers well to tackle the winger and concede just a corner.
Yellow card
a Uganda
-
31'Yet another booking as Oucho sees yellow for a late tackle on Sarr.
-
29'Chance for Uganda and it's Okwi again! He rises to meet a corner from the right, but heads it wide of the goal from in front of the penalty spot. Big chance there!!
-
26'Uganda looking more dangerous now as they keep possession and settle into the game.
-
22'First chance for Uganda as the ball falls to Okwi on the edge of the box after a cross from the right, but the winger hits a rasping effort straight at Gomis, who bats it away to safety.
-
20'Senegal look hungry for more here, and Uganda need to be careful to not fall further behind so early on.
Substitution
at Uganda
-
17'Wasswa pulled up injured just before that Senegal goal, and he is replaced in the Uganda defence by Timothy Awany.
-
14'GOAAAAAALLLLLLL FOR SENEGAL! Who else? Sadio Mané puts his side ahead!
Yellow card
a Senegal
-
11'Ndiaye goes into the book for shoving Lumala out of play down the right. A scrappy start in Cairo.
-
7'Okwi joins his goalkeeper in the book as he catches Kouyate smack in the face with his arm during an aerial battle.
-
3'Big decision early on here for the referee!! Sarr is released down the right with a long diagonal ball, which he gets to before Onyango. The Uganda keeper slides in, undoubtedly takes out the winger and gets a yellow card, although it was adjudged to have taken place just outside the penalty area on the right-hand side.
-
1'Senegal win an early corner as Mugabi turns the ball behind on the left side.
-
1'Mbaye Niang and Senegal, kicking from right to left, get us underway in Cairo!
