Galway 1-17 Clare 2-13For a minute though, it looked for all the world like the champions might've been heading out in Thurles until James Skehill's head and the Galway post denied the Banner a match-winning goal with just seconds on the clock. After Peter Duggan slotted one of the goals of the championship, Clare got in again with the clock ticking towards the 70 but the back of Skehill's helmet turned the way the initial effort before the slitter came back off the post and Galway somehow scrambled away. https://twitter.com/TheSundayGame/status/1026115649825734657 19 wides for Clare throughout the day in Tipperary. 19 wides. After 160 minutes of the All-Ireland semi-final, they led by barely even five of them and yet, in the end, they were the width of the post away from contesting for Liam MacCarthy in the decider. Galway were ruthless though. When Clare scored both of their goals, the Tribesmen went straight down the other end and reasserted their authority. And when Clare missed their chance of a third, Joe Canning was on hand to slot over another crucial sideline cut as if he was stroking around after training - about 20 yards out. Canning makes himself comfortable with the uncomfortable though and with further heroics, he sent Galway into the final and put them 70 minutes from claiming back-to-back All-Ireland wins. https://twitter.com/officialgaa/status/1026113668860264448
