Jack Mahon’s first-half strike put Mayo into a 1-4 to 0-6 lead but Galway had turned the tables by the break and went in 0-11 to 1-6 in front.
They pulled clear into a four-point lead with 10 minutes to play and despite Mayo’s best efforts, Donal O’Fathartha’s side made it three wins from three to extend their 100% start and secure their place in the final on 13 July.
In Markievicz Park, Leitrim recorded their first win of the campaign with a brilliant seven-point win over Sligo, 2-14 to 0-13.
The final round of games on 6 July sees Leitrim face Galway, while Roscommon play Sligo knowing that a point would mathematically seal their place in the final.
