Bodo Glimt did not have much trouble qualifying. After their 3-1 win last week, the Norwegian club followed it up with a 3-0 victory while playing 11 against 10.
LASK-Celtic delivered a pretty crazy match. As a reminder, Celtic had won 3-0 in the first leg. In fact, it was the Scottish club that opened the scoring very early. LASK then scored three goals, enough to give themselves the hope needed to push for qualification. A fourth goal sent the match straight to extra time.
