   Gothenberg 1-2 Brentford Bs.
Another surprise on paper. 
Youthful Brentford, it has to be said, pinched this win against the Swedish powerhouse. Their plans worked throughout, with diligent defensive commitment backed up by an excellent display from B's tall 'keeper. Gothenberg had almost all the ball, going in front with a header from a nearpost corner with only a couple of minutes til the break. Time enough tho for a B's right wing raid, pull back and emphatic finish. Level.
Second half was the same, oneway pressure with just a couple of breakaways to threaten the Swedish goal. Mass substitutions on 70mins resulted in another rightwing raid and a thundering header to take Brentford in front. Backs again to the wall therafter, but Bs kept their composure to take the win.
Bs Coach finished with a huge grin..... he and his team will be most pleased with this game.

	Brondby 3-2 Rosenborg. The teams cancelled each out in the first half hour, with not much happening. Then a deflected shot gave advantage to the Danes on 39mins. Second half showed Brondby on top, good value, and on 53 a crisp finish from way out made it two. The third was fair reflection too, on 76, after a neat move. A combination of Rosenborg piling substitute forwards into the game, and Brondby sitting back, enabled the Norway team to pull two back but the second was way to late to deny Brondby the win. Quite entertaining overall, tho the 90 minutes of showers dampened things a little for the few in attendance.
