The goalkeeper’s task was made easier by the sending off. His stats still impressed with 33 of 38 puck-outs retained, 0-4 in direct assists, and three saves
Handed a tough assignment on the in-form Jason Forde but won his fair share of ball.
Saved a Jason Forde free on the line but called for a couple of grappling fouls on John McGrath as he was booked before half-time.
With Darragh McCarthy red-carded for his dig on O’Donoghue, the Inniscarra man swapped onto centre-forward Jake Morris to create the spare man.
Kept Darragh Stakelum under close surveillance and stood out as the tempo dropped in the second half, assisting 1-2 and fouled for a converted free.
Played a sweeper role until his 20th-minute withdrawal due to a dead leg. Pounced on loose puck-outs for the first two goals.
Took over sweeping duties from Downey, which suits his skillset, but was twice penalised for fouling the sliotar for Tipp points.
Started like a house on fire with the goal and supplying the next for Patrick Horgan. Less prominent thereafter and replaced by Robbie O’Flynn.
Fouled for a pointed free and forced Craig Morgan to overcarry for another. Called ashore after 47 minutes for Luke Meade.
Scored Cork’s first two points and ended with 1-6 from eight shots, including two long-range frees. Moved inside late on and brilliantly beat his man for the goal.
Won plenty of puck-out ball, teed up Alan Connolly’s goal, and notched two points of his own.
Booked early after a scrap with Sam O’Farrell before a fine 70-minute shift, which delivered 0-5 from seven shots.
His 1-9 total came from 14 shots and included 1-3 from play. Left Michael Breen for dead for the goal and turned over Eoghan Connolly for a Brian Hayes point.
Got his customary goal against Tipperary with smart movement. Replaced by Brian Roche and had his lower leg strapped at full-time.
Played the final pass for O’Mahony’s goal and involved in the build-up for Connolly’s. Also nailed two points of his own.
Robbie O’Flynn showed fine form with 0-2 from three shots while Tommy O’Connell also scored late. Ger Millerick was assured on his early introduction.
Beaten for four goals and faced an extra man on puck-outs, retaining just over half (25 out of 43).
Tried his best to limit Brian Hayes before being moved out to the half-backs. Scored one point from four attempts with one miss punished for Dalton's goal.
Given the Alan Connolly brief and won some brilliant possession out in front. Liam Cahill said Tipp need to find more gems like him post-match.
Unexpectedly picked up Patrick Horgan but was rounded for the goal and wasn’t as influential.
Snatched at his goal chance, which Patrick Collins saved, and won a pair of pointed frees. Had his hands full with Séamus Harnedy until moving to midfield.
Took a closer marking role on Darragh Fitzgibbon before being switched out to the wing for the second half.
Outstanding against Limerick but struggled on Declan Dalton, who beat him one-on-one for the final goal.
Had a weak shot saved by Patrick Collins. Dropped back to tag Darragh Fitzgibbon at half-time and still played a key role in three second-half points.
Had his point from the throw-in chalked off due to Darragh McCarthy’s red card. Kept ticking over in the first half before fading and replaced by Séamus Kennedy.
His smart flick created a point for Jake Morris. Moved to the inside line at the break and replaced by Andrew Ormond.
Would’ve hoped for less tight marking than Seán O’Donoghue provided but scored 0-3 and won three pointed frees
His turnover led to Craig Morgan’s goal chance and he scored a point of his own before being withdrawn for Noel McGrath.
Not on long enough to be rated after his dig on Seán O’Donoghue saw him red-carded before the sliotar had been thrown-in.
Didn’t achieve the same end product as against Limerick but laid on two goal chances and fouled for three pointed frees.
Wasn’t expecting the free-taking responsibilities but amassed 0-15 (12 frees) from 19 shots, including one attempt for goal.
Willie Connors was last on but finished with 0-2. Andrew Ormond got a point and had a shot at goal. Gearóid O’Connor assisted a pair and Noel McGrath was assured as usual.
