Cork manager Ephie Fitzgerald pointed to Dublin’s physicality, experience, and collective know-how as the key ingredients in a second-half shutout from the now four-in-a-row All-Ireland champions.

Ahead by 1-3 to 0-3 at the break, Fitzgerald’s Cork were outscored 1-7 to 0-2 upon the change of ends to complete an eight-point swing in Dublin's favour.
