And that will do from me! Thanks a lot for your company. The hosts march on, even if this wasn’t their finest-ever hour, and will play their last-16 tie a week today. Cape Verde can feel optimistic of joining them but must wait til everyone’s done in the group stage, because two third-place sides won’t make it. See you again tomorrow, I hope, because we’ll have Senegal v Malawi especially for you.

Cameroon win the group, Burkina Faso come second – their 1-1 draw with Ethiopia is confirmed – and Cape Verde get third place! With four points they are likely to go through ... but a lot of these groups are very tight so they’ll be waiting a few days to know for sure.

90+2 min: Cape Verde must now hold on from a corner. It’s cleared but N’Jie sees a shot deflected *just* wide and it’s a nervy time here – that is until Vozinha punches the next flag kick away before going down, and probably secures them the result.

90+1 min: Fortes concedes a very, very dangerous free-kick right on the left edge of the box now, though, as we enter three minutes of added time. It’s on the wire for Cape Verde here. Anguissa steps up ... and strikes the wall, follow-up pinging behind after being deflected twice.

90 min: Aboubakar tries to contrive a winner but his backheel can’t find a teammate. Cameroon do win another corner shortly afterwards but Cape Verde, so resilient here, survive.

87 min: Cape Verde defend a corner well and edge closer to their target. We’ll now see two more Cameroon subs – Mbaizo and Jean Onana on for Gouet and Fai. Too many subs breaks, it’s tedious.

86 min: Diney appears to be on his feet and walking round the pitch to the bench, so no huge issue there it seems.

84 min: Still 1-1 in Bafoussam, where Ethiopia need a goal and Burkina Faso need not to concede. The latter seem reasonably comfortable just now.

83 min: Diney goes off on a stretcher and Fortes comes on. Hopefully it’s not serious.

82 min: Anguissa is booked for a foul on Diney, who is in pain. It’s all just a bit scrappy and fragmented now. The number of permitted subs doesn’t help in this kind of game, where neither side really needs to force the issue.

79 min: Cape Verde do send in a free-kick from the right now, forcing Moukoudi to defend awkwardly, but the clock is ticking down nicely for them.

78 min: Here are those subs ... Nenass on for Monteiro and Furtado replacing Santos.

77 min: Cape Verde have all but given up attacking now they have their point in view but they’ll make some subs soon. N’Jie almost gets away in the box but is snuffed out.

74 min: He seems OK. On we go ... so can anyone in either of these 1-1 games score a winner?

73 min: Vozinha, a 35-year-old mainstay in goal, goes down awkwardly after taking a deep cross and needs treatment.

71 min: Immediately an N’Jie corner is volleyed at the back post by ... I think ... Ngadjui and Vozinha parries well.

70 min: A familiar face arrives for Cameroon now – N’Jie, the ex-Spurs star, replaces Ekambi. And here’s another, Stoke old boy Choupo-Moting on for Ngamadeu. Seems Cameroon want the win after all.

68 min: A Lea Siliki corner comes to nothing. Cameroon have stepped things up a bit.

67 min: Semedo off and Joao Paulo on for Cape Verde.

66 min: Ooooh, Aboubakar misses a sitter! The first cross is cleared away; the second, better delivery is parried by Vozinha ... straight to the feet of the previously unerring striker, who spoons over!

65 min: Cameroon have barely offered a thing going forward in this half though. The pace has gone right down and I’m not overly surprised. Diney is booked for a foul on Anguissa though, and the hosts can send a free-kick in.

63 min: A bit of flashy stuff from Anguissa down by the left corner flag pleases the crowd, but doesn’t really go anywhere.

62 min: Here is Lea Siliki, on for Kunde.

61 min: We will soon see another name from the English leagues, Middlesbrough’s James Lea Siliki, come on for Cameroon.

58 min: Will the sides shake hands on this now? Four points gives Cape Verde a great chance of going through, whatever happens elsewhere, while three really doesn’t. And seven wins the group for Cameroon.

56 min: Big surprise, on the face of things, that the Olympiacos forward Rodrigues didn’t start this game. That was such a smart, deft finish.

AND WE GET IT! Wow. It’s the substitute, Rodrigues, who flicks home sublimely with his heel after Monteiro gets away down the right and squares on the half-volley. Well, well. In the space of a minute this group has sprung back to life.

52 min: It’s 1-1 in Bafoussam as Kebede converts the spot kick! This group isn’t done and dusted just yet, although we need another goal for at least one of Ethiopia and Cape Verde to change things definitively.

50 min: A defensive mix-up forces Vozinha to react desperately to thwart Ekambi ... and that Ethiopia penalty has, meanwhile, been given.

49 min: Cameroon win a corner down on the right, but it’s defended well enough. Pico then nicks the second ball away. In Bafoussam there’s a long VAR check for an Ethiopia penalty ...

47 min: Monteiro almost sends Tavares clear, and should, but messes up his pass.

46 min: Kunde shoots over from range almost immediately.

We eventually get started after some confusion – Rodrigues, a Cape Verde forward who has come on as a sub for Lisandro Semedo, took some time to come down the tunnel and held things up.

Can Cape Verde find a way back and make this interesting? They’ll need a tad more guile. But Cameroon do have a defensive error in them and we’ve seen signs of that even today.

The Fiver has landed!

In Bafoussam, Burkina Faso lead Ethiopia 1-0 at the break and will finish second as we stand.

A foul and yellow card for Fai brings one more free-kick from Cape Verde, near the left byline, and another big defensive block from the hosts – then the whistle. Aboubakar’s fifth goal of the tournament puts Cameroon, who haven’t been firing on all cylinders, well in the box seat to top this group. Cape Verde showed some life after going behind but haven’t had a lot beyond set pieces. If they can’t find a leveller they will face a very anxious wait to see if they’ll play in the knock-outs.

44 min: Cape Verde have come back quite well, and Anguissa is again rash in conceding a free-kick on the left. It almost leads to a goal! After Cameroon fail to clear, the ball is chipped back in from the right and Onana misses it, only being bailed out by Moukoudi as a Cape Verde attacked prepares to knock it in! Onana does rather better in grabbing the resulting corner.

42 min: And now a wild Anguissa backpass concedes a cheap corner. Can Cape Verde strike straight back thanks to this gift? Nope, it’s hacked away.
