In the Intertoto Cup on Saturday, without the matches of Vilnius "Žalgiris" in Latvia, seven second stage return matches took place. The biggest surprise was the Romanian team "Ecomax" from Cluj, who defeated Vilnius "Vėtra" in the first stage and managed to eliminate the Spanish team "Athletic Bilbao". The Romanian team won the first leg at home with a minimal lead, and in the second match, J. Gonzalez scored in the 36th minute to equalize the result, however, neither in regular time nor in extra time a winner was determined, so a penalty shootout followed, which the players of Cluj won by 5-3. The other well-known clubs did not disappoint their fans and advanced to the third stage - "Deportivo" despite a minimal loss against "Buducnost" away already had a convincing three-goal lead from the first match, "Wolfsburg" won 3-1 against local team "Sturm".
