O'Donoghue scores late equaliser to ensure Mayo share spoils with Galway

A LAST GASP point from Ryan O’Donoghue saw Mayo share the spoils with Galway on the opening night of the National Football League in front of 13,654 spectators in Castlebar.

That score put Mayo into a 1-1 to 0-2 lead, with Damien Comer and Cillian McDaid pointing for Galway and O’Donoghue for Mayo before that. Quick fire points from Matthew Ruane and O’Donoghue had Mayo level not long after the resumption of play and when Diarmuid O’Connor saw his effort just scrape over the bar on 42 minutes they were leading for the first time since their goal.

McDaid joined him in the sin bin not long after and it was all square thanks to a O’Donoghue free, but Galway edged back in front thanks to a super long range free from Peter Cooke. But there was time for plenty more drama, Cillian O’Connor fisted over a leveller after some good inter-play with O’Donoghue a minute into injury time.
