McCarthy, one of the key men in Monaghan's run to this year's All-Ireland semi-final, stepped up at the death with an injury time leveller.
The three allotted minutes of injury time had been played when, as you'll see in the clip below, the 28-year-old bided his time to perfection before steaming in off the left wing.
It was a classic case of deception from McCarthy, who as he strolled along the sideline feigned a lack of interest, lulling the Trillick defence into a false sense of security.
Shane Carey laid it off to him seconds later and McCarthy did the rest.
That tied the game at 0-13 to 1-10 and Scotstown edged proceedings in extra-time to win out on a final scoreline of 0-17 to 1-13, the winning score coming from a Shane Carey free.

The impressive Seanie O'Donnell had scored a first half goal for Trillick but calm and assured displays from Jack McCarron, the two Hughes and Rory Beggan in particular helped Scotstown back into it.
By his standards, McCarthy had been quiet throughout the game but just like he did in the preliminary quarter final against Kildare this summer, he stepped up when the stakes were at their highest.
