Rains, reds and an extra-time rollercoaster as Kerry outlast Cork in chaotic classic

The dismissal of Paudie Clifford was the spark for a wild conclusion to normal time, a captivating battle swinging every way. In extra time, it was Joe O'Connor's goal that finally settled it and left the Rebels floored.

Munster SFC semi-final: Cork 1-25 Kerry 3-21 (AET; 1-20 to 2-17 at 70mins)

Cork sought a two-point equaliser beyond the hooter to bring this sensational Munster semi-final to penalties. No joy. Orange flags had been their sustenance on this evening of comebacks and setbacks. Kerry’s diet was green. That flag and their flag won out.
