Slaughtneil are facing an uphill battle in the second-half if there to win a historic first ever All-Ireland club title.
The Derry side trail Corofin by EIGHT points at the break after a poor first-half that was riddled with errors.
Slaughtneil look nervy and the Galway side have punished them for indecisive decision making on the ball.
A number of Slaughtneil players have been guilty of kicking away possession far too easily, while other have been dispossessed far too easily.
Slaughtneil opened the scoring in the game and it was a wonderful point from a free.
From about 50metres out Christopher Bradley pointed with the outside of his boot to give the Derry side an early advantage.
Gary Sice hit back for Corofin before Chrissy McKaigue pointed superbly from a tight angle to restore their lead.
However, the game turned in a flash THREE quality points all from play by the impressive Michael Lundy put Corofin two ahead.
Then Corofin dealt a devastating blow when Martin Farragher scored a brilliant goal to put the Galway men in the driving seat.
Corofin added another few scores before half-time and look in a very commanding position.
Mickey Moran will have to rally his troops and make some tactical switches in an attempt to get back in this match.
