Donegal 0-18 v 0-16 Tyrone
Donegal are through to the Ulster Championship final after a nail-biting extra time win over Tyrone.
The first half was sloppy from Donegal, as Tyrone were able to convert a number of frees. Meanwhile Donegal were wasteful in the first half, giving the Red Hand county a 3 point advantage at half-time, 0-08 to 0-05.
Donegal were able to level the tie ten minutes into the second half at 0-09 apiece, but a quick scoring salvo from Tyrone quickly restored their three point advantage.
A nail-biting finish was in store, as Donegal closed the margin to one point.
Deep into the three minutes of injury time, Donegal’s Brendan McCole capitalised from a goalmouth scramble in the Tyrone penalty area to send over a point that would take the game to extra time.
The game remained a back-and-forth affair in extra time, again Donegal had several costly wides from good opportunities as things came down to the wire with just one point between the sides.
A huge score in injury time at the end of extra time from Patrick McBrearty sealed a hard-faught win, and a date with destiny against Armagh next week in the final.
