Espanyol finished off the job they started a week ago, beating Livorno 2-0 to add to the 1-2 victory from the first leg. Ernesto Valverde's side have now won seven games in a row in the competition, and with a next round tie against Maccabi Haifa (which will take place in Tel Aviv for security reasons) they must be ranked one of the tournament favourites.

The Catalans were on top from the beginning, Corominas, Pandiani and Jarque all going close before Jarque headed on Luis García's corner allowing Lacruz to finish off on the far post. And just two minutes in to the second half a shot from Corominas looped off the foot of a defender over the head of Amelia for the second. The Italians were left with ten men when César Rodrigues picked up a second booking, and Jonatas had a strike ruled out in the dying minutes for a borderline offside.
