It doesn’t get much closer than that – the scores kept coming from both teams to keep them level with a nip and tuck match right throughout the second half.
The Mayo men have been waiting and waiting and will have to wait at least one more year as the so-called “widow’s curse” seems to have worked in Dublin’s favour again.
With just five minutes to go, the teams were level with the exact same score of 1-15 but alas for Mayo it wasn’t meant to be as Dublin managed to win the day to be All-Ireland champions 2017 by winning by one single point, 1-17 to 1-16.
