Defending champions Sevilla completed the formalities, beating Steaua Bucharest 1-0 to complete an aggregate 3-0 scoreline over the whole tie. With a two goal lead from the first leg, Juande Ramos rested several of his key players. But he was forced to change his plans with only twenty minutes gone after Antonio Puerta picked up an injury, and with Adriano already out after an injury in the first leg, youth international Diego Capel was given a run out.

The Rumanians have a reputation for bring a good away side though, and Palop had to be at his best to keep out Nicolita and Christocea early on. However with the first half coming to an end Kerzhakov got on the end of Hinkel's cross to head past Cernea, and the tie was over. After that both sides decided to conserve their forces for another day, and their were virtually no further chances until Scottish referee Stuart Douglas blew the final whistle. Sevilla already know that their next opponents will be Shakhtar Donetsk, but they have a couple of big games to think about before then.
