At Villeneuve d'Asca, France:
Goals from Florent Balmont (3') and Pierre-Alain Frau (52') carried LOSC Lille Metropole to a 2-1 home win in game one of their two-match home-and-away series with Fenerbahce. The Turkish club, though, did get an away goal at 5 minutes from Gokcek Vederson.
At Enschede, Netherlands:
Theo Janssen scored the lone goal of the match at 39 minutes as FC Twente took game one at home 1-0 over Werder Bremen.

The loss was the Austrian club's first in this competition after having been the only club in group stage play in either the Europa or Champions League to win all six of their contests. They still have a shot in this series, though, having scored twice (both tallies from Marc Janko at 4 and 45 minutes) on the road in this series.

At Berlin:

The visiting club from the Italian capital kept themselves very much alive in this two-match series, thanks to goals from Mirko Vucinic (29') and David Pizarro (PK-81')
