2. So the Mexican supersub Zinha starts - can he fire them to the win which should take them through to the last 16?

3. 1'

   Mexico start the match with a long ball aimed towards Bravo.

4. 1'

   Salcido has a crack from 30 yards, it dips and lands on the roof of the net. Good effort.

5. 2'

   Angola have their first attack, but it braeks down on the edge of the Mexico box.

6. 3'

   The match is stopped for some treatment to Ze Kalanga, who has gone down in apparent pain.

7. 4'

   Marquez goes down over an outstretched leg of Akwa. Then Franco wins a free kick. A chance for Mexico to do something from the set piece.

8. 5'

   Pardo feeds it in and it goes straight to the keeper Ricardo.

9. 6'

   At the other end, Figueirdo's cross falls straight to Sanchez.

10. 7'

    Mexico, often tactically flexible, seem to be starting with a back four today.

11. 7'

    Salcido chips forward looking for Pineda, but he slips.

12. 8'

    Ze Kalanga, having returned, is down again and holding his right leg.

13. 9'

    Stop-start beginning to this match, which probably suits the underdogs, except that it is one of their players who may have to be taken off.

14. 10'

    Jamba brings down Franco in shooting range. Chance for Mexico.

15. 11'

    Pardo takes it and Ricardo comes across his goal to claim.

16. 12'

    Torrado picks out Franco, but he is tackled on the turn and the Mexicans are yet to get much possession in the final third.

17. 13'

    Marquez brings the ball comfortably out of defence, he passes to Zinha whose advance is curtailed by Delgado. Yellow card.

18. 14'

    Another free kick in a promising position. Marquez thumps it and in rebounds back off the post - so close.

19. 15'

    Ze Kalanga, back up again, goes on a run on the right, but there is no way through.

20. 16'

    Another free kick and Pardo, as is often the case, is behind it. He curls it to the back post, Ricardo comes out and spills it, but there is no Mexican there to take advantage.

21. 19'

    A spell on the ball for Mexico is ended when Pardo turns into trouble.

22. 20'

    Only a couple of alarms for Angola in these first 20 minutes, though they've yet to support the striker Akwa much.

23. 21'

    Another stoppage as Figueiredo goes down after a tackle by Franco.

24. 21'

    Figueiredo is back up and wins a corner. It is aimed at Akwa but turned away.

25. 23'

    Now Figueiredo has a crack from 25 yards but it's way over.

26. 24'

    Now Macanga has a crack from long range. Again, it's not far over.

27. 25'

    A better spell for the Angolans as Loko turns to win a free kick 40 yards from goal.

28. 25'

    Mendonca takes a fast bowler's run-up, whacks in and gets plenty of power on the shot. It wasn't far wide.

29. 27'

    Zinha shoots on the turn with a clever curler. Wide, but not by much.

30. 28'

    Rather odd effort from Mendonca, going for a shot from 45 yards. Sanchez wasn't even off his line.

31. 28'

    Bravo tries to chest it down to Franco in the box. Jamba intercepts.

32. 29'

    Franco robs Mendonca, comes forward purposefully but misplaces his pass.

33. 31'

    Marquez, with a terrific 50-yard pass, spreads play to Pineda, but he then loses out to Ze Kalanga and fouls the Angolan.

34. 31'

    A chance for Angola as Mendonca is caught on the edge of the box by Salcido.

35. 32'

    Figueiredo chips it in to Akwa who heads powerfully just over the bar. A good chance for the captain.

36. 33'

    Franco's cross is spilled by Ricardo and Jamba tidies up. Just as well he did - that was more poor handling by the keeper.

37. 34'

    Marquez is coming further and further forward in a bid to make things happen for Mexico.

38. 34'

    Another corner for Angola, conceded by Marquez in an aerial challenge with Akwa.

39. 35'

    Mendonca takes, Sanchez punches away unconvincingly but Mexico then clear.

40. 36'

    Franco loses out to Mendonca and then brings him down in frustration.

41. 37'

    Figueiredo spreads play well to Loco. Marquez heads away but Angola continue to press.

42. 39'

    Delgado comes across to take another Angola corner, Akwa jumps but can't make contact and Mexico breathe a sigh of relief.

43. 39'

    Mateus breaks forward and tries to link up with Akwa. A bit more ambition has been shown by the Angolans.

44. 40'

    Marquez beats Mateus in the air to Akwa's cross, but it goes behind. Corner.

45. 41'

    Delgado takes it short, gets it back and is offside.

46. 43'

    Realy frustrating first half for the Mexicans, who have lacked a cutting edge so far. Angola, in contrast, are increasingly confident.

47. 44'

    Ze Kalanga's cross is cut out by Marquez, who plays a one-two with Pardo and is chopped down by Jamba. Booking.

48. 44'

    That means Jamba is out of the Iran game. Meanwhile, Franco loses otu to Mendonca.

49. 45'

    And a great chance. Franco, on the turn, gets his shot in and Ricardo blocks. He had got on the end of a Marquez cross.

50. 45'

    Salcido volleys a cross, Kali just gets a foot in and that takes it away from Franco at the back post.

51. 45'

    Two additional minutes to be added in the first half.

52. 45'

    Mateus whips in an inviting cross but Akwa just jumps underneath it and fails to make contact.

53. 45'

    That's half time, and Angola are worth parity so far, even though Marquez hit the post.

54. 46'

    Well, what will La Volpe have done? He often changes tactics. Will it be the same Mexico in the second half? Angola get it underway.

55. 46'

    Pineda whips in a cross, Zinha gets into the box unmarked, but his first touch is poor.

56. 47'

    Zinha is involved again, but a reverse pass seems to baffle both his strikers.

57. 48'

    Zinha finds Franco heading for the corner flag. Then Mendez crosses, but it is simple for Kali to get it away.

58. 48'

    Marquez finds room on the right to drill a low cross, Franca goes down in the middle, but Mexico get a corner and not a penalty.

59. 49'

    Pardo takes, Kali heasd away at the near post, and Mexico's corners have produced little so far.

60. 50'

    Ze Kalanga is booked for a tackle on Marquez, who certainly makes the most of it.

61. 51'

    Marquez plays a one-two with Mendez, gets to the byline and gets a cross in. Marquez is giving Mexico impetus here.

62. 52'

    Marquez switches it to Salcido on the left. His cross is well taken by Ricardo, and it needed to be.

63. 52'

    Zinha goes off for Mexico and is replaced by Jesus Arellano

64. 53'

    Loco goes for one of the silliest shots of the tournament so far. Needless to say, it doesn't trouble the keeper.

65. 54'

    Marquez comes forward again and he is showing Mexico how to be positive, but Mendez slips as he is about to receive the ball.

66. 55'

    Fierce shot from distance from Mendonca, but straight at the keeper.

67. 56'

    But here's Franco with a great chance, meeting Arellano's header. He goes for the lob as Sanchez advances, the keeper gets a hand to it. Then he has a second chance - and Delgado gets it off the line.

68. 57'

    Now a free kick for Pardo t curl in and Kali, not for the first time, heads it away.

69. 58'

    Jamba is down for Angola now, and it provides Angola with a welcome break.

70. 58'

    But Angola counter-attack, only for Figueiredo to blaze over from 30 yards.

71. 59'

    And Angola, after that alarm a few minutes back, pass the ball around and regain their composure.

72. 60'

    Now Bravo takes a tumble in the box. The ref waves play on, and there are few complaints.

73. 61'

    Even Marquez gives the ball away and this certainly isn't going to plan for Mexico.

74. 61'

    It could have been even worse for them as Akwa loses the flight of a cross.

75. 62'

    Akwa tries a solo run and opts to run straight into traffic. Not his brightest move.

76. 63'

    Arellano goes for the slide-rule pass, but none of his team-mates were expecting it.

77. 64'

    Pardo tries a deft chip over the Angolan defence. He only finds the head of Loco.

78. 65'

    Arellano crosses from the right and Ricardo, a tad eccentric, comes out to claim one-handed.

79. 66'

    Fine chance for Omar Bravo, and he spurns it with a really tame toe-poke. It came from a panicky clearance from Kali, booting the ball into a team-mate.

80. 67'

    Now Pineda swings in a cross, three compete for it but it falls for the goalkeeper.

81. 68'

    Angola bring on a second striker, Pedro Mantorras, for Mateus.

82. 68'

    Arellano wins Mexico a corner that Pardo comes across to take. Ricardo, not convicingly, flaps at it and it goes behind.

83. 69'

    It's curled in to the near post, Jamba scrambles it away and the second cross was claimed by Ricardo.

84. 70'

    Marquez wins a free kick within shooting range.

85. 70'

    Marquez chips it over the wall, Arellano seems to lose it in the flight and it goes out for a goal kick.

86. 72'

    Figueiredo twists and turns to keep the ball and this is what Angola need to carry on doing, rather than all retreating into defence.

87. 72'

    Mexico aren't helping themselves. Pineda chips the ball aimlessly out.

88. 73'

    Rui Marques comes on for Figueiredo in Angola's second change.

89. 74'

    Now La Volpe makes a swap, Fonseca replacing Franco, and Mexico desperately need a goal from someone.

90. 75'

    Another corner for Mexico which Pardo places nicely for Ricardo to take.

91. 75'

    Mendez plays a one-two with Pardo, gets in the box and Kali makes a really important tackle as he is about to shoot.

92. 77'

    Sanchez reacts quickly to gather a deflected Ze Kalanga cross and prevent a corner.

93. 78'

    Macanga releases Ze Kalanga down the right and this time Angola do win a corner.

94. 78'

    Meanwhile, Mexico bring off Pineda for the winger Morales in their final change.

95. 79'

    Sanchez punches the corner away, none too convincingly.

96. 79'

    And a red card. Macanga gets it for a needless deliberate handball. It's his second booking.

97. 80'

    Now Angola will surely just try to hold on to their draw.

98. 81'

    Mexico really should be ahead. Arellano chips forward, Fonseca has a volley from eight yards - and it is tame and wide.

99. 83'

    Angola's last change - Miloy on for Ze Kalanga.

100. 84'

     Bravo gets a good header to Morales' cross from about 15 yards. It just drops wide with Ricardo scrambling across his goal.

101. 85'

     Fonseca weaves his way through, past two but not the third - another fine tackle by Kali.

102. 86'

     The keeper Ricardo is booked for timewasting. Angola won't care if they hold on.

103. 88'

     Great save from a fine strike. Marquez has a go from 30 yards and Ricardo, at full stretch, tips it wide.

104. 88'

     And Mexico hit the post. Ricardo misjudges the cross, Omar Bravo gets in behind him but he can only pokes it against the post.

105. 90'

     Three additional minutes for Angola to hang on for a famous point.

106. 91'

     And Angola have a throw 100 yards from their own goal. Just what they want now.

107. 92'

     Torrado chips forward, the goalkeeper is in no-man's land but Bravo handballs anyway.

108. 93'

     Morales gets to the byline, crosses, Ricardo jumps to catch it.

109. 93'

     Angola, down to 10 men, have got their draw. Mexico are booed off and the underdogs have an unlikely draw. Mexico hit the post twice, but Angola merit their point.
