Kerry 1-13 3-7 Cork

Pearse O'Neill tries to burst away from Kerry's Aidan O'Mahony

Cork hit two last-gasp goals to force a 3-7 to 1-13 draw against Kerry in Sunday's All-Ireland SFC semi-final.

Dominant Kerry led 1-13 to 1-7 in the final minute of normal time but James Masters' opportunist goal was followed by John Hayes' injury-time penalty.

Kieran Donaghy cancelled out Daniel Goulding's goal as Kerry led 1-5 to 1-4 at the interval.

Kerry's Dara O Se and Cork's Donnacha O'Connor were sent off after the break before the Kingdom moved eight ahead.

Both Kerry and Cork made late changes to their line-up with Tommy Griffin replacing Padraig Reidy in the Kingdom backline and Graham Canty and John Miskella taking over from James Masters and Brian O'Regan in the Rebels' side.

Kerry looked the sharper side early on and led 0-2 to 0-1 but Cork took the lead on 14 minutes when Goulding blasted to the net after good work by Michael Cussen and Pearse O'Neill.

However, Cork's lead lasted less than a minute as the towering Donaghy palmed to the net after an unselfish pass from Colm Cooper.

The Kingdom then moved into a 1-5 to 1-2 lead as they started to dominate and the lead could have been even bigger as Donnacha Walsh had a goal controversially ruled out for a throw ball by Tommy Walsh.

Kerry also felt that they should have had a penalty on 29 minutes when Donaghy appeared to be fouled by Derek Kavanagh.

However, Cork had a good five-minute spell before the break with two Donnacha O'Connor points cutting Kerry's lead to the minimum by the interval.

Kerry introduced Eoin Brosnan for Donnacha Walsh at the break and Cooper hit the opening score of the second half to extend the Kingdom's lead.

O Se's dismissal then came after he had appeared to strike Pearse O'Neill in an off-the-ball incident.

However, O Se's departure only served to fire up the Kingdom as Tommy Walsh, Cooper and Bryan Sheehan hit successive points to extend the lead to 1-9 to 1-4.

Nicholas Murphy replied for Cork in the 46th minute but any chance of a Cork comeback appeared to evaporate when Donnacha O'Connor was sent off for slapping Aidan O'Mahony's face.

O'Mahony's theatrics as he slumped to the ground were embarrassing but O'Connor's strike in the front of the linesman was extremely foolish.

Kerry hit the next three points to lead 1-12 to 1-5 with six minutes of normal time and the margin should have been even bigger as Brosnan's pointblank goal chance had been saved by Alan Quirke.

The Kingdom still led by six as the match entered its 70th minute but suddenly Cork were given a glimmer of hope when Masters palmed a speculative high ball past Diarmuid Murphy and into the net after a lapse of concentration by Tom O'Sullivan.

With two minutes of injury-time to be played, Cork still had a chance to grab a replay and crucially they won possession and Graham Canty earned a penalty after a clumsy challenge by Aidan O'Mahony.

To his immense credit, John Hayes held his nerve to stroke the penalty past Murphy.

Stunned Kerry still had another chance to win the game but Killian Young's shot from a difficult angle hit the upright and went wide.
