Atlético Madrid confirmed their presence in a major European competition for the first time in seven years after beating Vojvodina 1-2. Three goals up from the first leg, Javier Aguirre put out a much changed side, with Abbiati and Cléber making their official debuts. And although they found themselves behind after Buac took advantage of a sleepy defence shortly before the break, Luis García got an important away goal just ten minutes after the restart. His namesake Raúl García got a second after Jurado set him up twenty minutes later, and Abbiati ensured the victory when he saved Despotovic's penalty which the keeper himself had given away late on.
