They were back on level terms when Bernard Brogan’s instinctive lunge diverted Brian Fenton’s dragged shot home.
And the Oliver Plunketts man was in the thick of the action shortly after when he squared for Philly McMahon to bundle home.
Dublin went onto score another goal and seal a 3-15 to 1-14 win to book their place in another All-Ireland final.
But McMahon’s goal was undoubtedly the turning point.
After consulting with his umpires, referee Eddie Kinsella was satisfied with Brogan’s pass and then the finish but should it have been allowed?
Should Dublin's second goal against Mayo have been disallowed?
