With two quick hand passes, three Meath men are taken out of play.
End result: Another point closer to Meath.
Donnacha Tobin's black card, soon after this score, cost Meath their most experienced defender and the reckless fouls crept in.
In the 70th minute, Westmeath went ahead for the first time - courtesy of Martin - but the killer blow came from Heslin.
Showing all the energy of a freshly turned 23-year-old, he burst through on O'Rourke in the Meath goal. The easy option was to take the point and make it a two-point game.
Heslin was not having that. He drove in on goal and hammered home an emphatic three-pointer.
Glennon fed Martin, who spun and shrugged his marker, Conor McGill, off with ease before firing home an unstoppable shot. As a left-footer, he should have been forced inside but he was allowed to bump off an over-eager McGill, gain a yard and rifle Westmeath right back into the match.
Thereafter, imbued with confidence, Martin was everywhere. He played a part in three more Westmeath scores and was such a thorn in Meath sides that he drew the foul from Paddy O'Rourke that saw the goalkeeper sent off, late in the piece.
Heslin's final point, from the resulting free, book-ended his scoring contribution perfectly.
Dublin await in the Leinster final and, all of a sudden, they have more than one scoring threat to worry about.
