Summary

edit

Kerry won by 13 points, the widest winning margin in an All-Ireland SFC final since 1978.[citation needed]

Mayo were hoping to bridge a gap that stretched back to their All-Ireland SFC title winning team of 1951.[3] They failed yet again, having lost to Kerry in 2004 and 1997, Meath in 1996 and Cork in 1989.[4]

Mayo were 2–4 down with no score after 13 minutes; the Kerry total of 4–15 was the highest in a final since Dublin's 5–12 total against Armagh in the 1977 final; in 2022, Martin Breheny listed it among "five of the worst" All-Ireland SFC finals since 1972, commenting: "Kerry's awesome scoring power against a weak Mayo defence robbed the final of a competitive edge, the basic requirement to make a game entertaining".[5]
