Second qualifying round

edit

Summary

edit

The draw for the second qualifying round was held on 1 August 2008 in Nyon, Switzerland,[4] and featured 16 teams entering directly at the second qualifying round, as well as the 37 winners from the previous round and the 11 third round winners of the UEFA Intertoto Cup. The first legs were played on 14 August 2008 and the second leg on 28 August 2008.

In each region of the draw for the second qualifying round, teams were divided into two pots, on the basis of UEFA coefficients. The higher pots contained teams with a ranking of 176 or higher, and unranked teams from associations ranked 1 to 15 (or 17 in the Southern-Mediterranean region). As there were an odd number of teams in the Central and Northern groups in the 2nd qualifying round, UEFA moved Rennes from the Central-East group to the Northern group. Furthermore, Liepājas Metalurgs and Sūduva were moved from the Northern group to the Central-East group, and Vaslui and Interblock Ljubljana were moved from the Southern-Mediterranean group to the Central-East group.

12 of the 32 ties were won by the team with the lower UEFA coefficient. The 12 teams that lost to a lower team were: AEK Athens, Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, Aris, Red Star Belgrade, Grasshopper, Slovan Liberec, Viking, Lokomotiv Sofia, IF Elfsborg, Gent, Queen of the South and Debrecen. St Patrick's Athletic were the only team to beat a higher-seeded team in each of the two qualifying rounds.

Notes

edit
  1. ^ a b Played in Lugano at Cornaredo Stadium as Bellinzona's Stadio Comunale Bellinzona did not meet UEFA criteria.
  2. ^ The WIT Georgia v Austria Wien first leg match, originally scheduled to be played at Mikheil Meskhi Stadium, Tbilisi, was initially moved to Rize Atatürk Stadium, Rize, Turkey, a neutral venue, due to the Russo-Georgian War.[8] However, the match was later cancelled due to travel safety concerns and the war's psychological impact on the WIT Georgia players.[9] As a result, what was originally the second leg, hosted by Austria Wien, became the sole match of a single-leg tie.
