Louth pulled off the most stunning win of the All-Ireland series so far, with a 2-20 to 2-19 win over Armagh in Inniskeen.
Down by two points with the game nearly over, Sam Mulroy hoisted what was either a shot for two points or a long ball into the box, either way, Armagh keeper Ethan Rafferty was not able to hold it, and palmed it into his own net.
It turned out to be the last play of an enthralling encounter.
The win puts the Wee County straight into the quarter-finals, alongside Galway, Cork, and Tyrone.
