UEFA Cup, second round, day 4

Sevilla ensured their place in the third round with a 3-1 win over Vitoria Guimaraes on Thursday evening. The Andalusians had the game wrapped up with three goals before the break, Saviola opening the scoring early on after Adriano set him up. The Argentine striker helped himself to a second a few minutes later, and Adriano made it three before Benachour pulled one pack for the Portuguese side on the stroke of half time. Juande Ramos's side will travel to Bolton in two weeks' time needing a draw to top their group. (01.12.05)

Espanyol are a point away from reaching the third round of the competition after drawing 1-1 at Broendby. Tamudo put the Catalans ahead after Luis García set him up in the second half, but Skoubo headed the equaliser later on, and Fredson and Johanssen were both sent off towards the end in what was a bad tempered match. Lotina's side only need to draw now at home against Petach Tikva in a fortnight's time to ensure a place in the top three of their group. (30.11.05)
