Marseille and Werder Bremen Reach UEFA Cup Quarterfinals

Two Round of 16 two-match series concluded Wednesday:

At Saint-Etienne, France:

Goals from Sebastian Prodl (6') and Claudio Pizarro (27') helped Werder Bremen to withstand a furious comeback attempt by Saint-Etienne to gain a 2-2 road draw in game two and win their two-game set 4-3 on aggregate.

At Amsterdam, Netherlands:

After Miralem Sulejmani's goal at 74 minutes lifted Ajax Amsterdam to a 2-1 home win in game two to deadlock the series 3-3 on aggregate, Tyrone Mears' overtime header (110') enabled visiting Marseille to win the series 4-3 after two overtime periods.
