Porto di Farioli flies high, winning 2-1 away at Stuttgart with goals from Moffi and Mora, who get the better of Undav. The other favourite to win the competition, Aston Villa, also does well, thanks to Watkins, winning away at Lille (the winner of this tie will face the Italian side in the next round). In a surprise result, Panathinaikos beat Real Betis 1-0, with the Greeks, despite being down to ten men, beating the Spaniards – who were also down to ten men – thanks to Taborda.
Fonseca's Lyon and Endrick drew in the final minutes at Celta Vigo (1-1), while Nottingham Forest suffered a heavy defeat at home to Midtjylland. Ferencvaros (2-0 against Braga) and Genk (1-0 against Freiburg) did well. The return legs will be played in a week's time.
