Padraic Joyce was not happy with the yellow card handed to Mayo's Colm Reape, believing that the goalkeeper could have been sent off.

This certainly would have been a massive turning point in the game. We gave Mayo a big start in the game, we were 0-6 to 0-1 down. When questioned on the yellow card for Reape, he hinted that he felt the punishment should have been a more severe one. [TG4](https://twitter.com/SportTG4/status/1642574471822286848?s=20) after the game, Galway manager Padraic Joyce seemed unhappy about some of the decisions that went against his side in the game. If the ref decides that it was intentional, which he did because he gave him a yellow card, does it not merit more than a yellow card? A yellow card was handed out by the referee, with the Galway player forced off due to injury soon after.

O'Donoghue thumped over two frees and the excellent Jack Coyne contributed a critical point. It was Mayo's first score from play since Flynn's 16th minute effort. Walsh and Cooke clipped points, but then Mayo reeled off three in a row to seal the deal. Mayo, though, replied as O'Donoghue and goalkeeper Colm Reape thumped over frees to ensure Mayo led 0-8 to 0-5 at the turnaround. At the opposite end of the field Mayo were restricting Galway, forcing a couple of turovers. Ultimately that was the difference between the teams with the Mayo faithful in the 45, 041 crowd saluting the victory with a throaty roar at the end of a tight game.

Mayo were crowned Allianz National Football League Division 1 champions with a hard-fought 0-14 to 0-11 victory over Galway in Croke Park this afternoon.

That left the Green and Red 0-14 to 0-10 ahead and seemingly on course to win with a degree of comfort, but Reape was called into action again to keep out a rasping shot by Cooke at the expense of a 45'. Galway then conjured up another goal chance, Johnny Heaney getting a toe poke to the ball ahead of the out-rushing Reape but steering his effort wide of the target. It followed the first of Reape's fine saves, the Knockmore man denying John Maher after a burst through the middle followed by a low shot.
