Zaragoza were never in danger as they played out the formality of the second leg following their three goal victory at home. Txetxu Rojo was taking no chances though after the club were eliminated in the first round last year by Wisla Krakow under similar circumstances, and although he made some changes to the starting line up, he stuck to his usual central block of Láinez, Aguado, José Ignacio and Jamelli. Any worries they had were allayed when Yordi headed them in front in the first half, although Larsen levelled the scores from the penalty spot before the break.

As time wore on in the second half Zaragoza were unable to recover their lead, and Rojo brought on his first choice wing forwards Juanele and Vellisca to try and open up the troublesome defence. Either side could have scored, but with the fog closing in and time running out, Jamelli rose to meet a cross from Aragón to give the Spanish side a late victory on the night. Zaragoza will have a more difficult opponent in the next round however, with a tie against Swiss side Servette to come.
