Villarreal qualified for the semi-finals with relative ease after drawing 1-1 at Brescia. Defending a two goal lead from the first leg, Benito Floro decided to keep the same block of players who played in the first leg, with Sonny Anderson up front. However he was able to count on a strong substitutes' bench, with new signings José Marí and Coloccini alongside Belletti, Reina and some of the club's talented youngsters.

The Italians started well, with Tare and Matuzalem causing some problems for López Vallejo in the visiting goal. However three minutes in to the second half Villarreal put the result beyond doubt with an important away goal, José Marí (who had only just replaced Anderson at the break) setting up Guayre for him to score.

The Spaniards could have gone further ahead after that, especially when Guayre hit the post with the keeper beaten. But eventually Floro decided to rest his players, and Brescia pulled one back in the last minute when Petruzzi beat López Vallejo following a corner.

But by then it was all over, and Villarreal go on to play Czech side FC Brno in their semi-final, with the first leg away next Wednesday evening. If they get through that, then they will meet the winners of the fixture between Dutch side Heerenveen and Slovakia's Koper in one of the three finals.
