Mickey Harte was left with a mix of defiance and gratitude after watching his Derry side overcome Mayo in MacHale Park after a penalty shootout.

Conor Doherty was the hero in this All-Ireland SFC preliminary quarter-final tie. His penalty beat a diving Colm Reape to send Mayo crashing out of the championship. Derry were on the ropes in normal time before Chrissy McKaigue popped over an equaliser with the clock in the red to force extra-time.
