Mallorca were dumped unceremoniously out of the competition by a Newcastle side who scored seven goals against them over the two legs. Three behind from the first leg, and with a difficult league match at Murcia to come, Luis Aragonés gave a run out to some of his lesser used players. And the reserves held on well until half time, with Bruggink testing Given early on. But keeper Miki gifted a goal to Alan Shearer only a minute after the restart, and Mallorca then needed to score four even to force the game into extra time.

Aragonés had already used up two substitutions due to injuries to Marcos and Toni González, but he decided to bring on Eto'o to at least give it a try. But Bobby Robson introduced Bellamy with a quarter of an hour to go, and almost immediately he scored his team's second. A minute from the end Shearer made it three, sending the 3,000 or so Newcastle fans (almost half the crowd) home happy.
