Galway boss Padraic Joyce questioned the amount of injury time played by referee Joe McQuillan after his side were pegged back for a draw by Mayo.
Five minutes of additional time was signalled at the end of the 70 minutes and when Damien Comer pointed a free for Galway in the 75th minute, it looked to be enough to give them a fifth successive win over Mayo at Hastings MacHale Park.
But McQuillan played on Ryan O’Donoghue kicked an equaliser for Mayo with what was effectively the game’s last play.

Joyce said: “Just frustrated with a few decisions out there. It’s the first League game, I was very proud of the fellas and probably overall a draw was probably a fair result but, lookit, we were a point up and five minutes injury time was up and he played a sixth one so, lookit, again, no complaints but we do feel a bit aggrieved that we didn’t win the game but that’s a good sign of the team, we’re not happy with a draw in Castlebar.”
