Kerry responded well to Dublin's bright start and they could have levelled the match when O'Callaghan dragged down Tadhg Morley and referee Conor Lane made the wrong call.
Morley burst through on Stephen Cluxton's goal after a fisted pass from Clifford. O'Callaghan hared back and dragged Morley's arm when he was about to shoot.

Bizarrely, after consulting with his umpires opted to give Mick Fitzsimons a tick, while O'Callaghan got away scot-free. To add to the confusion, Lane looked to have flashed a black card but it was, in fact, him holding up his black notebook to show the Dublin defender he had received a tick.

Still, the black card rules state that the referee can only flash it if there is a deliberate body-check, trip, pull-down or abusive language. O'Callaghan could claim his challenge was clumsy and nothing more.
But Lane opted to tick Fitzsimons, who was merely arriving on the scene after the foul took place.
Kerry had to content themselves with a free but they deserved so much more.
