Donegal 1-23 v 0-18 Louth
Donegal are through to the Semi-Finals of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, but it wasn’t a walk in the park despite the comfortable scoreline at full-time.
In their first ever Quarter-Final appearance, Louth gave a good account of themselves in the first half as they proved difficult to break down at times.
Donegal went into half-time up three points, 0-11 to 0-08 – and Louth would continue to hang around in the game.
Donegal led by 7 points going into the final 20 minutes, but a run of three Louth scores in a row would leave Donegal fans in the stands feeling tense as the game approached its end.
However Donegal found the back of the Louth net when Eoghan Ban Gallagher slotted home from a fluid Donegal attacking move in the 59th minute, giving them much-needed breathing room.
That goal gave Donegal the security they needed as they finished strongly to set up a Semi-Final clash with Galway.
