Helsingborg - Odd Grenland 1-1 (1-1), agg 3-3 (Helsingborg on away goals)
Olympia
Att: 4034
1-0 Alvaro Santos (3)
1-1 Morten Fevang (43)
Referee: Sergiy Shebek, Ukraine.

- Odd Grenland went out in the most crulest of ways, by virtue of the
  away goals rule.  Despite going behind early, the Norwegians equalized
  before the break, and had several good chances of taking the lead.  But
  as has been usual in the last games, even the best of chances are missed,
  and progress in Europe is therefore impossible.  A pity for Odd as HIF
  wasn't any better over the two legs.
