Monaghan beat Armagh on penalties to reach semi-finals

Armagh suffered more penalty heartache as Monaghan won a hugely dramatic All-Ireland quarter-final in a shootout after the teams drew 0-14 to 0-14 after extra-time at Croke Park.

It is yet another heartbreaking defeat for Armagh, who lost last year's All-Ireland quarter-final to Galway and this year's Ulster final to Derry on penalties.

Armagh were bidding to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2005 and thought they had done enough to edge a tight Ulster derby when Rian O'Neill landed a late score in extra-time.

However, Conor McManus - who made a huge impact off the bench for Monaghan - equalised in the dying seconds to force the shootout.

In the shootout, McManus, Jack McCarron, Kieran Hughes and Micheal Bannigan all scored for Monaghan with O'Neill, Shane McPartlan and Oisin Conaty converting for Armagh.

After Beggan had saved from Cumiskey, Gary Mohan had the chance to win it for Monaghan only to be denied by Ethan Rafferty, allowing Rory Grugan to keep Armagh's hopes alive.

Nine successful penalties followed before Cumiskey was again thwarted by Beggan, sparking joyous scenes among the Monaghan panel as the devastation set in again for Armagh.

While Monaghan can look forward to their first All-Ireland semi-final since 2018, Armagh will reflect on a rollercoaster championship campaign that stirred belief in the county only for hopes to be punctured in the cruellest fashion in shootouts against two of their provincial rivals.
