With 90 seconds remaining in Tyrone's All-Ireland clash with Mayo this afternoon, keeper Niall Morgan stepped up bravely for the Red Hands to slot a tough two-point free, which overturned their one-point deficit.
It was the last score in a game that finished 0-22 to 1-18 to Tyrone, and sent them through to All-Ireland quarter-finals, with Mayo heading to round 3.
In a fascinating interview after the game, Morgan revealed how a meeting with Ireland rugby legend Johnny Sexton helped him find success with his late kick, after failing with one against Armagh in the Ulster SFC.
He said: "Going up, I was thinking about eight weeks ago against Armagh.
"I had the chance to equalise it at the end and I was just thinking don't do it again.
"But it probably makes it a bit easier to have a two-pointer to actually win the game.
"We were over in the campus at Easter and we actually met with Johnny Sexton, a few of us.
"He just said about settling down, going through your routine, getting your breathing sorted and just all the wee things that are going through your head."
He continued: "Against Armagh, I said afterwards I don't know why I rushed it so much because the time was basically up.
"It was basically the last kick.
"And I just regretted after not saying, you know what, just take your time and sort of get into the moment."
