A good victory for Zaragoza, who beat Turkish league leaders Fenerbahçe 2-1 to book their place in the next round. Despite a one goal lead from the first leg Víctor Muñoz was not taking any chances, and he put out a strong line up. And it paid off when Galletti fired in a free kick off the far post to open the scoring with only ten minutes gone. After that they handed over possession to their opponents, although Luis García hardly had any work to do before half time. And Savio could have increased the lead when he brought a good save out of ex Barcelona keeper Rüstü midway through the first half.

The game opened up after the break as the Turkish side pushed forward looking for the two goals they then needed, leaving spaces at the back for the Spaniards to exploit. But although both keepers were called upon a few times, there was no real danger until Savio got Zaragoza's second goal, picking up a ball outside of the area and firing in a long shot which went over Rüstü and in off the post. Alex finally got one back for the visitors three minutes from the end, but by then they needed three and it was scant consolation. The Spaniards go on to the last sixteen, where they could face Athletic Bilbao if the Basques can beat Austria Vienna on Sunday.
