With a three goal lead from the first leg, Deportivo were not expected to have any problems beating Buducnost in Podgorica, Serbia. Joaquín Caparrós certainly thought so at least, and the new coach decided to leave Valerón and Sergio at home and give Iván Carril a first start on the left wing, with Munitis playing a central role behind Xisco.

The front two combined for Xisco to bring a good save out of Vujadinovic in the first half, but otherwise Depor took it easy against an opponent who didn't create many problems in the first forty five minutes. Sekulic pulled a goal back midway through the second half though after Risto Lakic set him up, and although Toro Acuña and Rubén Castro tested the keeper with long shots, Vujovic gave the local fans hope with a second goal three minutes from the end.

One more would have taken the game into extra time, but Munitis won a penalty in injury time which Acuña converted to make sure of a third round tie with either Slaven Koprivnica or Gloria Bistrita. Not the greatest of victories, but a job well done at this early stage of the season.
