\n All-Ireland SFC Round 3\u00a0\n <\/p>\n
\n Mayo 0-22\u00a0\n <\/p>\n
\n Meath 2-13\n <\/p>\n
Mayo booked their place in the All-Ireland SFC quarter-final after an excellent second half comeback over Meath in Castlebar.<\/p>\n
Jordan Morris opened the scoring for the visitors on two minutes, and Jack Livingstone just kept out a two-point attempt by Morris from dropping into the net with two Meath players waiting to captialise.<\/p>\n
Ryan O\u2019Donoghue shortly levelled it for Mayo before Sean Brennan converted a \u201945 after Jack O\u2019Connor saw his goal-bound effort denied by Livingstone.<\/p>\n
Meath were in full control and scored the next three points through James Conlon, Matthew Costello and Cian McBride. Kobe McDonald stemmed the tide for Mayo with his first point, but Meath soon cut through the Mayo defence and Ciar\u00e1n Caulfield rolled the ball past Livingstone for their first goal.<\/p>\n
Bryan Menton and Morris, who were tormenting Mayo at this point, added further points before McDonald, who was denied a goal of his own by Brennan, guided over a \u201945 on 23 minutes. However, Meath added a second goal a minute later as another devastating run through the Mayo backline reaped the maximum reward, with Se\u00e1n Coffey finding the net.<\/p>\n
Mayo finished the half with the momentum, scoring four of the last five points through Enda Hession (two), Jordan Flynn and Kobe McDonald but Meath\u2019s lead remained strong at half-time, 2-8 to 0-7. McDonald\u2019s score could have been more as Conor Loftus was in on goal for Mayo following a swift counterattack. He sliced his effort well wide of goal, but McDonald kept it alive to send over his third of the evening.<\/p>\n
Despite the first two-pointer of the game from Jordan Flynn and a point from Bob Tuohy, the gap remained at seven ten minutes into the second half thanks to Meath scores by Jack O\u2019Connor, Conlon and Jack Flynn.<\/p>\n
The tide was beginning to turn in Mayo\u2019s favour however, as they kicked four of the next five points, while Enda Hession was denied a major by Se\u00e1n Brennan.<\/p>\n
The big turning point arrived on 54 minutes as Meath\u2019s Ronan Jones, three minutes after coming on, was shown a straight red card for an off the ball incident involving Jack Coyne.<\/p>\n
A second two-pointer from Jordan Flynn and singles from Ryan O\u2019Donoghue and Tommy Conroy levelled the game for the first time since the third minute, but Meath went back in front through Jack O\u2019Connor, while Caulfield saw a huge goal opportunity kept out by Livingstone.<\/p>\n
It was all Mayo from here. Jack Carney\u2019s superb two-pointer put Mayo in front for the first time, and they confirmed their place in the last eight with late points from O\u2019Donoghue and McDonald.<\/p>\n
