FULL-TIME DUBLIN 1-10 DONEGAL 0-7
66 mins GOAL FOR DUBLIN
From an unlikely source in Philly McMahon, who slotted under Mark Anthony McGinley following a pass from Kevin McManamon after Paul Flynn had nipped possession from Mark McHugh. Dublin 1-10 Donegal 0-7
65 mins – Kevin McManamon hooks over a point from close range as Donegal struggled to clear. Dublin 0-1

56 mins – Point from Brian Fenton for Dublin, got in behind but was happy to take the point. Dublin 0-8 Donegal 0-6 – remember that score? Yes, 2011.
Donegal may not win but they’re giving an exhibition in how to play Dublin. Every other county should watch video about 10 times

50 mins – Michael Murphy is sent off for Donegal as is James McCarthy. Murphy got a second yellow for a sliding tackle on Brian Fenton. And McCarthy, we presume, got a straight red for his reaction. Dublin 0-7 Donegal 0-6
47 mins – From an angle on the right foot, Dublin’s Paddy Andrews fires his team in front again at the Davin End. Dublin 0-7 Donegal 0-6
44 mins – Dean Rock, from a Denis Bastick pass, fires it over. Bastick replaced by Emmet Ó Conghaile and Martin McElhinney on for Leo McLoone for Donegal. Dublin 0-6 Donegal 0-6
43 mins – Donegal are certainly more offensive in the second half, moving the ball well. Game will open up as a result. Dublin 0-5 Donegal 0-6
41 mins – Subs – Mark McHugh for Paddy McGrath on Donegal team and Dean Rock for Brogan for Dublin
40 mins – And Donegal lead. Patrick McBrearty plays it wide to Odhrán MacNiallais and it’s meat and drink on the left foot for the Gaoth Dobhair man. Dublin 0-5 Donegal 0-6
39 mins – Patrick McBrearty’s free levels it up. Ryan McHugh was fouled by Brian Fenton. Dublin 0-5 Donegal 0-5
Second half is underway and no changes on either team.
For those critical of style & quality of Dublin v Donegal contest, have you ever seen a game of soccer?

31 mins Michael Murphy hits the upright with a fantastic effort at the sideline ball. Unlucky. Dublin 0-4 Donegal 0-3
Pat Spillane went ape in 2011 when it was Donegal 0-4 Dublin 0-2 at half-time. Well, we’ve seven points tonight at least!
29 mins – Dublin edge ahead again and it’s Kevin McManamon’s second of the day. Dublin 0-4 Donegal 0-3
28 mins – Donegal are level and it’s Rory Kavanagh, who dummied two players and took his score as he drifted the ball in from right. Dublin 0-3 Donegal 0-3
25 mins – Point for Eamon McGee – rounding off a move that saw Rory Kavanagh play the final pass. Good move. Dublin 0-3 Donegal 0-2
Donegal need to break a lot quicker, Dublin are gonna score a goal soon if they don’t and keep passing it around #DUBvDON
