Galway edged a tense, tight battle with Donegal by 1-14 to 0-15 to progress to an All-Ireland SFC final showdown with Armagh in two weeks time.
Johnny Maher, Rob Finnerty and Liam Silke tagged on vital points in the last 10 minutes while Donegal were forced into rash pot shots as Galway sat deep to protect their lead. It was midfielder Michael Langan, with 0-4 from play, who came good for Donegal with vital points but the Ulster champions could not get the spread of scores they needed.
He scored a majestic point early in the second half and has a track record of coming up with clutch points in big games, but that is just one of many imponderables Donegal will reflect on over the coming weeks and months.He appeared to sustain a hamstring injury after being tripped by Johnny Maher and his absence was a blow because he had marshalled Galway dangerman Shane Walsh well and his movement was causing the opposition problems.
Jim McGuinness goes over to shake hands with his captain Patrick McBrearty after substituting him in the 59th minuteHis attempt at a point dropped short and the ball bounced in front of Shaun Patton, who was distracted by the presence of Matthew Tierney and allowed it past him into the net.
