Half time:Dublin 0-8 Kerry 0-4

Aidan O'Mahony got a black card for a pull-down on McManamon. Paul Murphy replaces him.

Sheehan scored a point in injury time

Dublin’s Philly McMahon may have a case to answer following an alleged 65th minute eye gouging incident in Dublin's All Ireland win over Kerry suggesting that he gouged the eye of Kerry skipper Kieran Donaghy.

Nothing that the DRA could not sort out

Dublin attack mayo in All Ireland Semi Final draw in Croke Park Sun 30 Aug 2015

Dublin attack mayo in All Ireland Semi Final draw in Croke Park Sun 30 Aug 2015

Dublin 2-12 Mayo 1-15

It was a bad-tempered match full of unsavoury of the ball  incidents.

Dublin’s Diarmuid Connolly’s penalty after 5 minutes  gave the Leinster champions a 1-7 to 0-7 interval advantage. This was for a  foul on Paul Flynn may have taken place just outside the large rectangle.

Dublin’s Michael Darragh MacAuley and Denis Bastick were black cared in the second half.

Dublin got a lot of turnovers by Mayo over carrying  and they curtailed Mayo’s forwards well

Mayo’s O'Connor converted a  penalty after Colm Boyle was brought down.  Moran then equalised following a rash Cluxton restart and was the last score with none in 5 minutes of injury time.

Dublin’s Diarmuid Connolly was shown a red card at the end for an incident involving Lee Keegan and was only one of many incidents. Not the first time Connolly has been red carded in an All-Ireland semi-final but until the St Vincent’s man curbs his aggressive behaviour it will continue to be a problem.

Dublin: S Cluxton; R O'Carroll, P McMahon, J Cooper; J McCarthy, C O'Sullivan, J McCaffrey (0-01); B Fenton, MD Macauley; P Flynn, P Andrews (0-02), C Kilkenny (0-03); D Rock, D Connolly (1-02, 1-00 pen, 0-01f), B Brogan (0-02).

Subs: M Fitzsimons for O'Carroll (blood), K McManamon (1-01) for Rock, J Small for Cooper, D Bastick for Macauley (black card), A Brogan (0-01) for Andrews, T Brady for Fenton, E Lowndes for Bastick (black card).

Mayo: D Clarke; C Barrett, G Cafferkey, K Higgins (0-01); D Vaughan, L Keegan (0-01), C Boyle; T Parsons, S O'Shea; D Drake, J Doherty, D O'Connor (0-01); K McLoughlin, A O'Shea, C O'Connor (1-09, 0-08f, 1-00 pen, 0-01 45).

Subs: P Durcan for Vaughan, A Moran (0-02) for Drake, A Freeman (0-01) for Doherty, B Moran for S O'Shea, M Sweeney for D O'Connor.
