Desperate situations calls for desperate actions however, and as the ball is sailing in mid-air, Dublin goalkeeper, Evan Comerford is seen shaking the posts, trying anything he can to manipulate the ball wide.
A similar feat of desperation was seen a few years ago when Dean Rock hit a last minute free to beat Mayo, and Lee Keegan threw his GPS device in front of the ball to try and put him off.

However, just as Dean Rock didn't miss that time, Sean O'Shea wasn't going to be denied his moment of glory, and that free will surely go down in history as one of the very best in Croke Park history.
Paul Geaney was quick to let Comerford know that his tactics didn't work however, celebrating wildly in front of him as he retrieves the ball to try and hurry the kick out.
What makes the score even more incredible is the game that O'Shea was having until that point. The centre half forward got off to a flying start, kicking 1-1 in the opening few minutes, and looked unstoppable.
Then with Kerry holding a decent lead, he had the chance to kill off Dubin early with a penalty, but missed as Comerford swallowed up the ball.
Desperate to make up for his miss straight away, O'Shea followed his kick in and tried to get his foot onto a rebound but ended up colliding with the Dub's keeper, causing a bit of fracas to break out, and there were danger signs that Kerry's number 11 could be sent off.
However, he survived and showed his mental resilience by putting that miss to the side, and not letting it affect him as he prepared to take the biggest kick off his life.
