On a rainswept day, Andy Moran kicked two injury-time points to ensure his Mayo side sealed a place in the All-Ireland semi-finals as they withheld any notions of Donegal comeback at Elvery’s MacHale Park.
Cillian O’Connor’s goal helped a dominant Mayo team into a 1-7 to 0-4 lead at the break.
After the interval, Michael Murphy scored a penalty as Donegal fought back to trail by a point but Mayo responded in style.

Evan Logan was on-hand to capture the best moments from a gloomy day for the Donegal parish in Mayo.
