There was controversy at half-time during this evening’s All-Ireland SFC semi-final between Derry and Galway as Hawkeye looked to have malfunctioned towards the end of the first-half.

The officials went to the technology to confirm whether or not Shane Walsh’s free late in the half had sailed between the posts.

Hawkeye ruled out the score but replays from RTE's cameras at half-time showed that the Galway attacker’s effort had in fact sailed between the posts.

The score had orginally been ruled out and the Ulster champions took in a 0-4 to 0-3 lead at the half prior to referee Brendan Cawley reversing the call and awarding the point to the Tribesmen before the second-half's start.
