Yellow card: Runar Kristinsson, Peter Werni, Lillestrøm, Dan Eggen, Oscar Tellez, Alaves. - Lillestrøm were outclassed by their Spanish opponents, and now have little chance of going through. The visitors quick counter-attacks proved decisive in a match that was played in Drammen(!), as Åråsen doesn't obey all UEFA stadium requirements. UEFA Cup second round, second leg (9/11) ================================= Alaves (Spain) - Lillestrøm 2-2 (1-1), agg. 5-3 Mendizorroza stadium Att: 10.703 1-0 Mocelin Magno (2) 1-1 Pål Strand (4) 1-2 Espen Søgård (50) 2-2 Juan Epitié (70) Referee: Attilla Hanascek, Hungary. Yellow card: Roger Helland, Olav Zanetti, Lillestrøm. - Lillestrøm played a much better away leg, and had a great chance of tying the overall score at 1-2 when Powell missed a sitter. However, despite the brave efforts, the Spanish team goes through deservedly. But Lillestrøm with many youngsters due to injuries to key players at least went out on a high.
