Michael Murphy's first-half penalty proved to be crucial as his Glenswilly side beat St Gall's 1-10 to 0-10 in the Ulster Club quarter-finals.
Murphy was himself fouled and Ireland's International Rules captain fired high past Chris Kerr to help the Donegal men to a 1-5 to 0-4 interval lead.
St Gall's had led by four points to two in the early stages.
Michael Murphy reflects on Glenswilly's 1-10 to 0-10 victory over St Gall's in the Ulster Club quarter-finals.
Murphy's goal and two points by Gary McFadden swung the tie for Glenswilly to reach their first Ulster semi-final.
"St Gall's had most of the possession early on and we just hung in there," said Murphy.
"Thankfully we had a wee five-minute purple patch just before half-time and to go in leading was a huge boost to us.
"We defended resolutely in the second half and the rub of the green went for us."
