However, the water break settled Donegal, and Michael Langan scored a point and a great goal to level matters.

Donegal had the better of the end of the first half and led by 1-5 to 0-6 at half-time.

Tyrone made a great start to the second half and Darragh Canavan helped himself to a point and a goal.

That saw Donegal fall two points behind but they responded by kicking the next four scores.

It was tit-for-tat after that, but Donegal were two points up heading into injury-time after scores from Ciaran Thompson and Oisin Gallen.

Tyrone needed a goal but they couldn’t find it and Donegal march through to the Ulster Championship semi-final.
