Espanyol have a good chance of going through to the league stage after a 1-1 draw at Teplice in their first leg. Miguel Angel Lotina surprised everyone leaving Kameni on the bench and giving a run out to Iraizoz in goal, and De la Peña was back in the squad after being left out following a bust up with his manager, albeit not in the starting line up which included five defenders.

With more games under their belt this summer, the Czech side had the better of the first half, although Luis García fired a shot just over the bar and Lopo hit the post shortly before the break. Just three minutes after the restart though Jirsak got on the end of Rilke's cross to open the scoring, and with his side in disarray the coach turned to De la Peña. That did the trick, and the little man weaved his magic before setting up Luis García for the equaliser near the end.
