Derry edged Mayo 4-3 after a dramatic penalty shoot-out to book their place in next week's All-Ireland quarter-finals at Croke Park.
Mayo replied from the very next attack, centre-back Sam Callinan injecting pace into the move before firing over. O'Donoghue stopped the rot for Mayo on the whistle with another free as Derry led 0-6 to 0-3 at half-time.Kevin McStay's charges emerged for the second half like a different team, hitting the first four scores without reply.
There were 50 minutes on the clock when O'Donoghue's skilful flick over the Derry defenders' heads had Conroy in on goal but the subsequent effort was blocked by the foot of McKinless. With referee Brendan Cawley at the perfect vantage point, he awarded Mayo the penalty. O'Donoghue picked up the scraps to fire over and put two between them once again, bringing his personal tally to 1-4.
