Con O’Callaghan scored 1-7, including the decisive penalty, while Niall Scully was named man of the match after contributing 0-4. Colm Basquel, Paddy Small and Cormac Costello also finished with four points apiece.<\/p>\n
Galway appeared to be in control entering the final quarter.<\/p>\n
John Maher’s goal had given P\u00e1draic Joyce’s side a 1-20 to 0-17 advantage,<\/a> with C\u00e9in D’Arcy scoring four points during an impressive display.<\/p>\n However, the game turned in the 59th minute.<\/p>\n Liam Silke was shown a black card by referee David Gough after fouling Colm Basquel as the Dublin forward burst through on goal.<\/p>\n Con O’Callaghan converted the resulting penalty and Dublin seized the momentum, eventually finishing strongly to claim victory.<\/p>\n ‘If I’m P\u00e1draic Joyce, I’m Fuming’ \u2013 Lee Keegan On Huge Galway Dublin Call<\/p>\n Speaking on The Sunday Game, Lee Keegan agreed with the decision to issue the black card but questioned whether the incident constituted a clear goal-scoring opportunity.<\/p>\n Scully with a brilliant ball into Basquel, cuts inside himself.<\/p>\n For me, 100% black card.<\/p>\n Is it enough to stop a goal-scoring opportunity?<\/p>\n I think Cian Hernon is making up serious ground there.<\/p>\n I think Basquel is still a good distance out.<\/p>\n I just feel maybe not a penalty.<\/p>\n Ciar\u00e1n Whelan took a different view, arguing that Basquel’s run and the support around him meant the rule had been correctly applied.<\/p>\n I just feel you have to argue, is it not a goal opportunity?<\/p>\n If he drops the shoulder and gets by and Con’s inside.<\/p>\n So, you know, is it not a goal opportunity?<\/p>\n And that’s the rule.<\/p>\n So I think it’s hard to argue against this one.<\/p>\n \n Recommended\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n However, it was a second incident that drew even stronger criticism from Lee Keegan.<\/p>\n Galway felt they should have been awarded a penalty after Ciar\u00e1n Kilkenny challenged John Maher inside the square during the closing stages.<\/p>\n David Gough waved away the appeals a\\n gave a free for a foul he was playing advantage for, but both analysts felt Galway had a legitimate grievance.<\/p>\n “I think if Galway get a penalty here, I don’t think Dublin would have huge complaints about it,” said Whelan.<\/p>\n Keegan was even more forthright.<\/p>\n I think he probably has to give the penalty there if he’s given another, if I’m being totally honest about it.<\/p>\n Fair enough, and we think Maher might have slipped a bit, but Kilkenny’s hands are around him.<\/p>\n It looks quite high.<\/p>\n The former Mayo player believes the incident could have fundamentally altered the outcome of the game.<\/p>\n If I’m P\u00e1draic Joyce, I’m fuming over that decision.<\/p>\n That’s a massive moment in that game.<\/p>\n If you get a penalty there, that changes the whole dynamic of the game 100%.<\/p>\n So I can see why he’s disappointed with that decision.<\/p>\n Galway will undoubtedly point to those incidents after surrendering their late lead.<\/p>\n Their struggles proved costly throughout the contest, while Dublin’s experienced forwards took advantage once momentum swung in their favour.<\/p>\n For P\u00e1draic Joyce, the defeat increases the pressure around his position after another championship disappointment.<\/p>\n Dublin, meanwhile, move on to an All-Ireland semi-final against Kerry after producing a spirited comeback.<\/p>\n But for Lee Keegan, the biggest talking point from the closing stages may well remain the decision not to award Galway a penalty when John Maher went to ground.<\/p>\n SEE ALSO: Dublin Fans’ Classy Gesture Praised By Padraic Joyce After Paul Clancy Tribute<\/a><\/p>\n
