Galway hold firm in tense finale | Galway 1-14 Donegal 0-15 | All-Ireland SFC Highlights

Updated / Tuesday, 17 Sep 2024 14:31

Galway finished strongly in a tense finale to overcome Donegal and book their spot in a second All-Ireland final in three years. With 10 minutes remaining, a tit-for-tat encounter hung on a knife-edge, the scoring-rate having fallen precipitously after an open first half. The hinge moment occurred with five minutes remaining. After a rousing Donegal turnover, Ciarán Thompson dived on the ball on the ground, referee Brendan Cawley penalising the midfielder. The big screen operator in Croke Park was momentarily asleep at the wheel, the tight call being broadcast around the stadium. The replay probably vindicated the decision but it was tight and the Donegal crowd struck up a round of boos, while Ryan McHugh and his teammates pointed agitatedly at the screen. Cawley responded by bringing the free in even closer. Finnerty tapped it over to nudge Galway in front at a crucial moment.
