The 2000 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final was the 113th All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 2000 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.
Kerry defeated Galway after a replay. There was controversy over the decision to hold the replay on a Saturday, instead of the usual Sunday. Since then games on days other than Sundays have become commonplace.[2] Kerry ultimately triumphed over Galway by a scoreline of 0–17 to 1–10.[3]
Match 1
Summary
Kerry played Galway on Sunday (24 September 2000) in Croke Park, Dublin in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship title. The two teams had previously played against one another in Croke Park in an All-Ireland Final in 1965 where Galway won, the 2000 final ended in a draw. Galway trailed for most of the game and it wasn't until three minutes from the end that they levelled the game after working tirelessly throughout to reduce the deficit. At one point Galway were behind Kerry by seven points in the first half of the game. The final score was 0–14 points each. It was the first time since the
Pádraic Joyce brought the sides level with four minutes remaining.[6]
The referee played 40 seconds of additional time.[7]

Does it present any advantage in an All-Ireland final replay to have scored the equaliser in the drawn game? A look back on the last six drawn football finals shows honours even in that regard. Last time out it was Cillian O'Connor who brought parity for Mayo who lost to Dublin in the replay three years ago. Prior to that, a similar outcome in 2000 when Pádraic Joyce's 66th-minute equaliser for Galway forced a replay which Kerry won.

If referee David Gough had played as little injury-time as his predecessor PJ McGrath in the 1982 final, Dean Rock would never have had the opportunity to equalise in the 74th minute. McGrath added just 35 seconds of additional time and this was not simply because there were fewer stoppages – it was common practice. Randomly chosen finals – at five-year intervals – in the decades that followed indicate that as little as nine seconds in 1990 and 40 seconds in 2000 (drawn match) were added on for injury-time in those football All-Irelands.

Cormac Costello's point turned out to the difference in 2016 and it was Aodhán MacGearailt who sent over the insurance score with his fist in the millennium year.
