A thrilling match in La Coruña, where Deportivo won through on the penalty shoot out against Brann. Lotina's side had to overcome a 2-0 first leg result, and when Colotto headed in Riki's corner early on they appeared to be on their way. But soon afterwards they were left with ten men when Riki picked up two bookings in quick succession.

Even so Depor had most of the play, with Lafita and Bravo leading the attack. Mista came on for Bravo in the second half and went close with a header, Guardado brought a good save out of the keeper, and Verdú and Mista tried their luck after that.

The game went in to extra time though, and the Norwegians almost won it when a long cross from Bakke hit the post before bouncing back at Aranzubia. But in the end it was all down to penalties, and Aranzubia pulled out three great saves to win the day. European football is back at the Riazor!
