You guessed it, the teams can't be separated and we're about to watch a penalty shootout. 

In last year's Ulster final at this very venue, Armagh lost on penalties to Derry. They will need to show a better showing from the spot to avoid defeat here.

Just one minute of additional time and penalties are looming.

Incredible. Substitute Odhran Doherty manages to squeeze one over from out wide and with seconds on the clock, the teams are level.

Donegal aren't going away and Daire Ó Baoil comes up with a quality score. 

They trail by the minimum. 
Dylan O'Connell
We've played 85 minutes but Armagh are showing they still have a bit left in the tank. After moving the ball down the pitch, Oisín O'Neill blasts one between the posts.
