Defending champions Sevilla beat Atromitos 1-2 in Athens, curiously the victory coming just two days after Valencia finally broke the jinx against Spanish sides in Greece. Juande Ramos's side pushed forward right from the start, and got their reward when Kepa headed home Duda's cross with fifteen minutes on the clock. And with the first half coming to an end, Duda picked up a long cross from Jesús Navas and turned the ball back under the body of Michailidis for the second.

With the game seemingly won, the coach decided to rest Navas and then Kanouté. But a lapse of concentration between Hinkel and Poulsen allowed Korakakis to steall the ball away and get a goal back. That inspired the Greeks with confidence, and Palop had to be best to keep out Koutsospiros and Sanokho. But when Doe missed an easy chance it was all over, and Sevilla had a foot and a half in the next round.
