Leading 2-0 with 15 minutes to go, Walters once again provided the out ball and held it up for teammates. He also won two frees for his side deep in the opposition half.
"I made the changes tonight not to disrespect the opposition but to give one or two of the lads who have done well for us an opportunity," Hughes explained post-match.
Also in the pot, and a team Stoke may hope to avoid, are Manchester City. Everton are in the last four, played over two legs, and will be joined by the winner of Southampton v Liverpool this evening.
Walters is favourite to pick up FAI Senior International Player of the Year at an official ceremony in early 2016.
By the time that comes around, the forward may have his first ever winners' medal as a professional footballer.
