14-man Donegal fight back to floor Mayo
Rory Kavanagh was controversially sent off a minute before half-time for flinging an arm in the direction of Kevin McLoughlin. After McLoughlin hit the deck Sligo referee Marty Duffy brandished a straight red card but the contact seemed to be to McLoughlin’s chest and Kavanagh left the field shaking his head.
“It was looking like a very difficult situation for us trying to turn it around but we dug in very well and responded well to the sending off,” said Donegal manager Jim McGuinness, who added they will launch an appeal.
