Germany was already eliminated from the UEFA Cup, because the two remaining German clubs, Dortmund and Schalke, unexpectedely dropped out against Sochaux from France and Bröndby from Denmark respectively, but there were some more unexpected outcomes in terms of procceding or dropping out of the competition : Manchester City FC lost on away goals to Poland's Groclin Grodzisk, SK Slavia Praha from the Czech Republic lost with the same reason against PFC Levski Sofia from Bulgaria, Gaziantepspor from Turkey overan French side RC Lens, winning both games. That was not the end yet, however, because Valerenga IF from Norway remained in competition without having won a single game after two 0:0 draws with Poland's champion Wisla Krakow and a win in the penalty shoot-out, Gençlerbirligi stunned Europe in eliminating Sporting CP Lisbon from Portugal with a 3:0 win at Estadio José Alvalade in Portugal, and Feyenoord, the Dutch team which had won the UEFA Cup in 2002, lost 1:3 on aggregate against FK Teplice from the Czech Republic.
