It was a half dominated by Tyrone and a strong breeze, with Mayo managing just a point for 40 minutes. The door was effectively slammed shut on Mayo when Brennan rounded Ger Cafferkey to fire to the net just three minutes after the restart. Mayo’s woes further compounded in injury-time when Conor Loftus was well wide with a poorly-taken penalty after Tom Parsons had been taken down. MAYO: D Clarke; C Crowe, G Cafferkey E O’Donoghue; C Boyle, L Keegan, S Coen; T Parsons (0-1), A O’Shea; K McLoughlin, D O’Connor, J Doherty; C O’Connor, A Moran, A Gallagher. TYRONE: M O’Neill; HP McGeary, P Hampsey, C McCarron, C Meyler (0-1); F Burns (0-1), P Harte; C Cavanaugh, P McNulty, M Donnelly (0-4); N Sludden (0-1), C McShea; L Brennan (1-3, one free) C McAliskey (0-3, three frees), M Bradley.
