The All-Ireland Football semifinal was decided with the very last kick 0f the game, a free from Kerry captain Seán O'Shea from the guts of 55 metres. As the match looked destined for extra time after Dublin came back from six points down, it was O'Shea's unbelievable effort which broke Dublin GAA hearts.

Here's a look at the best commentary from the deciding free from commentators across the country.

Radio Kerry

If you're looking for perhaps the most one sided sided commentary of Seán O'Shea's free, then look no more because it's Kerry Radio who take home the honours for breaking the decibel scale.

Tim Moynihan and Ambrose O'Donovan go berserk after their captain secured a place in the All-Ireland final for the first time since 2019.

The commentators barely have a voice left between them after a hectic 70 minutes of action and the cries of "Obama said we could do it, yes we can" could possibly be the best commentary line from any radio station of all time.

RTÉ Raidio Na Gaeltachta

Mícheál O'Sé has been doing commentary on Raidio Na Gaeltachta for decades and as a former 2-time All-Ireland champion with the Kingdom, his commentary is an excellent listen.

Even if you aren't a fluent Irish speaker, you can understand almost everything he is saying through his insane passion for GAA. You can listen to the clip below.

On the telly, the decision to either watch the game on Sky Sports GAA or RTÉ was one that thousands of people had to make yesterday and thankfully, the quality of commentary wasn't a deciding factor. David McIntyre was the man behind the microphone for yesterday's game and what a job he did.

McIntyre was joined alongside Kerry GAA legend Kieran Donaghy for commentary on the game. Donaghy couldn't restrain himself from celebrating in the commentary box leading to some fantastic quotes from the three-time All-Star.

RTÉ GAA

Ger Canning was on commentary duties on RTÉ  and he didn't let himself down yesterday. Canning used great suspense in the build up to Seán O'Shea's last minute kick as he prepared himself to kick into Hill 16 in front of thousands of Dublin fans.

As the ball begins to curl from right to left and over the bar, the scream of "He has it" from Kevin McStay adds the perfect harmony to a brilliant piece of commentary from RTÉ.

You can also hear the beginning of Pauric Lodge's RTÉ Radio One commentary on this soundclip.
