Enda Smith dictated the agenda at midfield for Roscommon, who left Pearse Stadium with the JJ Nestor Cup.
Always willing to push forward to support a talented attacking unit Smith caused Galway plenty of problems.
Smith's brother, Donie, also contributed handsomely as a substitute on a memorable afternoon for the sizeable travelling Roscommon contingent.
Paddy McBrearty (Donegal)
In a game that went the distance against Meath, Paddy McBrearty was cool and clinical enough to administer the knockout blow.
McBrearty's winning point was a splendid effort as Donegal advanced following a lively clash against the Royals.
Michael Murphy was another in excellent form for Donegal, who were inspired by McBrearty's seven point haul, including four from play.
Robbie Kiely (Tipperary)
Robbie Kiely was in brilliant form for Tipperary during Saturday's stunning win over Cavan at Kingspan Breffni.
Tipperary trailed by six points at the break before recovering to earn a gritty away win.
Attacking half back Kiely contributed 1-1, and repeatedly drove at the heart of the Cavan defence.
