Tyrone Defeat Dublin 0-23 to 0-16 to Reach All-Ireland SFC Semi-Finals

Tyrone secured a 0-23 to 0-16 victory over Dublin in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final, marking their first championship win over Dublin since 2008 and a place in the semi-finals for the first time since 2021. Tyrone's bench made a significant impact late in the game, with substitutes Ruairi Canavan and Eoin McElholm scoring crucial points, while their ability to score two-pointers, especially in the first half, proved decisive. Dublin struggled with their shooting and made numerous handling errors, which Tyrone exploited to pull away in the final minutes despite a closely contested and error-strewn match. Tyrone boss Malachy O'Rourke praised his players' resilience and defensive efforts under tough conditions, emphasizing their hunger and strong finish. The defeat resulted in Dublin being eliminated for the second consecutive year at this stage, with manager Dessie Farrell confirming his departure following the loss. Reflecting on Tyrone's history, Owen Mulligan highlighted the significance of victories over Dublin as catalysts for All-Ireland success, recalling his own memorable goal against Dublin in 2005 as an inspiration for the current team.
