Jim McGuinness’s side scored 1-21 from open play to return to semi-finals for the first time since 2014
Donegal hit their scoring straps to end Louth’s run and set up Galway semi-finalMidfielder Michael Langan popped over three points and Louth simply couldn’t keep tabs on all of Donegal’s scoring options.
Louth got some joy in the first half when forcing Shaun Patton to go long with his kick-outs, and Craig Lennon’s score during the first half came after Tommy Durnin’s superb fetch in the middle of the field from a Donegal restart.

Patrick McBrearty intercepted a Louth kick-out in the 24th minute and sent Ciarán Moore through for Donegal’s seventh point of the game. But Louth’s best offensive period of the game followed as they scored three consecutive points to leave just the minimum between the sides.
