Darren Sargent steered home a delightful 18th minute header as Monaghan netted an early goal, but the home side thundered into the game.
Philip Reilly clipped a splendid equaliser following a sublime Frannie Carter delivery and Barry Moran’s drive put Galway ahead in the 32th minute.
Seconds later, Moran provided a clever assist for Reilly who claimed a fortuitous second.
Frannie Carter, Moran and Ciaran Foley added further goals after the interval, while David Lee smashed home a last-gasp consolation for Mons.
