At Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg:
A 0-0 stalemate on the road in game two was good enough for AIK as the Swedish club won their two-match series with Jeunesse Esch 1-0 on aggregate.
At Helsinki, Finland:
Juhani Ojala's goal at 77 minutes enabled HJK Helsinki to take game two of their two-set match at home with FK Ekranas 1-0, forcing the series to go into overtime, where, sadly for the visiting Lithuanian club, right near the end of the second overtime period, Andrius Sidlauskas' own goal (129') sent the Finnish club into the third qualifying round as HJK took the two-game set 2-1 on aggregate.
At Zilina, Slovakia:
MSK Zilina overturned their 1-0 road defeat of last week with an overpowering performance at home, dominating visiting Birkirkira FC 3-0 in game two, enabling them to take the series 3-1 on aggregate. Josef Piasek (21'), Ivan Lietava (77'), and Tomas Oravec (90'+2) provided the scoring that sent the Slovakian club into the third qualifying round.

Adamo Coulibaly (24'), Yannick Mbengono (32'), and Peter Szakaly (55') each delivered a goal as Debreceni VSC won game two 3-2 over Levadia Tallinn and eliminated the Estonian club 4-3 on aggregate after a very competitive two-game series.
At Poznan, Poland:
After Girts Kalsons scored in the 84th minute, enabling Inter Baku to take match two on the road against Lech Poznan 1-0 and forcing the two-game series into overtime (which was scoreless after 30 minutes), the issue was settled with a lengthy penalty-kick shootout. Bartosz Bosacki, Jacek Kielb, Seweryn Gancarczyk, Jakub Wilk, Dimitrije Injac, Grzegorz Wojtkowiak, Manuel Arboleda, Semir Stilic, and Krzysztof Kotorowski all converted their spot kicks and the host Railwaymen topped the visiting Azerbaijani club 9-8 in the shootout to advance to the third qualifying round.

After a scoreless draw last week in Northern Ireland, Rosenborg, thanks to goals from Rade Prica (32') and Markus Henriksen (87'), took game two at home from Linfield FC and took the two-game set on aggregate by the same 2-0 score.
At Hafnarfjordur, Iceland:
