It was the only setback on a day when Galway cruised to victory and set up a semi-final clash against Carlow, victors in Friday night’s playoff in Fenagh against Carlow.
The other semi-final will see Laois play Dublin after the Midlands’ outfit saw off Wexford in Abbeyleix today.
In Tullamore, Galway were in front by 1-17 to 0-5 at the interval with Jason Flynn netting for the Tribesmen while Offaly’s Shane Dooley saw his penalty saved by Galway’s Colm Callanan.
The one-way traffic continued in the second-half with Canning hitting Galway’s second goal but Dooley did raise a green flag for Offaly.
Meanwhile, it was a hat-trick from PJ Scully that propelled the Laois hurlers to a 4-18 to 1-19 win over Wexford.
Laois were in front by 2-10 to 1-10 at the break with Scully and Stephen Maher both netting.
Scully added two further goals in the second-half to send his team through to the last four stage.
