Dubs boss Paul Caffrey and Mickey Harte after the final whistle

A Tomas Quinn goal on the stroke of half-time helped Dublin deservedly lead 1-10 to 0-8 at the interval.

However, Tyrone fought back brilliantly and Owen Mulligan's wonder-goal helped them lead 1-14 to 1-12 late on.

However two Tomas Quinn points, including a brave free in the fourth minute of injury-time earned the draw.

Tyrone started brightly with Stephen O'Neill and Ryan Mellon firing over superb points in the opening two minutes.

However, Dublin hit seven of the next eight scores to storm into a 0-7 to 0-3 advantage by the 22nd minute.

At that stage, Dublin were dominating midfield with Ciaran Whelan having a huge impact on the game.

Tyrone then staged something of a revival and an Owen Mulligan free reduced Dublin's advantage to 0-9 to 0-8 with one minute of the first half remaining.

However, the excellent Quinn then hit a point and a goal before the break with the three-pointer coming after Pascal McConnell wasn't able to hold the lively Jason Sherlock's low shot.

The goal was set up by Collie Moran's mazy run which cut open the Tyrone defence.

Dublin looked set for the All-Ireland Semi-Finals at half-time but Tyrone came out fired up after the break.

Sean Cavanagh and Stephen O'Neill hit quick points to cut Dublin's advantage to three and while Conal Kearney then pointed for the Leinster champions, Tyrone were by now looking much more purposeful.

Peter Canavan was introduced to huge roars in the 48th minute but it was his former pupil Owen Mulligan who had the Tyrone fans in raptures when he slammed in surely one of the greatest ever Croke Park goals moments later.

After picking the ball 50 metres out, Mulligan sold dummies to two Dublin defenders before hammering the ball to the roof of the net from 15 metres out.

A minute later, Canavan had a great close-range change to put Tyrone ahead but his fisted effort from a tight angle came back off the woodwork.

Six scoreless minutes were ended when Quinn restored Dublin's advantage from a free but Tyrone were now looking more fluent and O'Neill missed a glorious goal chance for the northerners moments later after an exquisite ball from Canavan.

Dublin outplayed us completely Tyrone's Enda McGinley

Despite the miss, Tyrone kept probing and three unanswered points, including incredible scores from Brian Dooher and O'Neill, put the beaten Ulster finalists two points ahead with four minutes of normal time left.

When Tomas Quinn missed a 50-metre free with three minutes of normal time left, Dublin seemed set for a heartbreaking defeat.

However, Quinn regained his composure to fire over a sharp effort from play in the final seconds of normal time.

Tyrone tried to run down the clock in the injury-time but they lost possession on a couple of occasions including when sub Joe McMahon dropped a scoring effort into the hands of Dublin goalkeeper Stephen Cluxton.

The Dubs then worked the ball downfield and while there were some complaints about the decision, appeared to have deserved the free which Quinn pointed from 35 metres - his task made easier by Tyrone dissent which led to the ball being moved forward.

Tyrone forward Enda McGinley, named man-of-the-match, claimed that his side were "lucky to get away with a draw".

"Dublin outplayed us completely," insisted the Errigal Ciaran clubman.
