Keith Higgins feels that Sunday's drawn All-Ireland SFC semi-final could have gone either way.

Reflecting on the pulsating draw with Dublin at Croke Park, where the Connacht champions oveturned a seven-point deficit in the last nine minutes, the Mayo captain told The Irish Daily Mirror:

"We were lucky and maybe unlucky at times. I thought we'd plenty of chances - we just didn't take them. We probably could have won the game as well. We showed a bit of character to come back there in the end. We'll take the draw.

"We pulled it back to four or five points and we just got the penalty at the right time. It's hard to say exactly what the mindset is like. If you think it's over, you should just throw in the towel.

"It's not like you're thinking the game is over; we just keep doing what we're doing. We just keep driving forward and looking for gaps.

"I think when we got it back to four or five points, we really drove it on a bit, we probably ran at them.Fair play to 'Boyler', he got up there and drew the penalty. We had a bit of momentum at that stage.

"If we'd taken our chances a bit earlier, we probably could have maybe won the game. Look, it's another day out."
