1649: HALF-TIME Nigeria 0-0 Senegal

1644: Senegal break forward and Diomanst Kamara pushes the ball wide to Rahmane Barry who has a shot from the corner of the six-yard area but the ball goes wide. Kamara is in the middle and would have had a great chance if the ball had been passed back to him,

1626: Guiranne Ndaw has Vincent Enyeama in the Nigerian goal back peddling as his long range effort from the left wing looks goal bound but the keeper manages to touch it over the top.

1620: Nigeria's Christian Obodo tries from a very long way out but his shot lacks power and is straight at Pape Mamadou Diouf in the Senegal goal.

1614: Taiye Taiwo hits the bar with powerfuly struck free-kick swung in from the righthand side and the ball is cleared as it bounces down off the woodwork.

1613: Still no clearcut chances in the opening 10 minutes with both sides happy to try and play the ball over the top.

1609: The opening few minutes have been evenly matched and the game is being played virtually at walking pace.

1605: Jay-Jay Okocha, in his final game for Nigeria. swings in a free-kick from the left but it evades the strikers and the defence to go behind for a goal-kick.

1602: Nigeria get the third place play-off against Senegal underway.
