Armagh edge Tyrone in extra-time

In a match that delivered classic championship drama, Armagh survived a late Tyrone comeback to advance to the quarterfinals.

Despite playing with 14 men for a portion of the game, Kieran McGeeney's side showed remarkable resilience to hold off their neighbors.

A late point from Conor Turbitt proved to be the decisive score in a contest that saw both teams trade the lead multiple times.

McGeeney admitted it was not his team's best performance but praised their spirit in securing the vital win.
