Uefa Cup review...courtesy of my fav BBC
Three goals in nine minutes helped Besiktas advance to the quarter-finals of the Uefa Cup at the expense of Slavia Prague.
The Turkish side trailed 1-0 from the first leg, but Daniel Pancu put them on level terms when he scored four minutes before half-time.
Besiktas took hold of the tie in the 61st minute through Ronaldo Guiaro before Ahmet Dursun added a third goal five minutes later.
Ilhan Mansiz looked to have sealed the victory three minutes later when he gave them a 4-0 lead on the night and a 4-1 advantage overall.
But they had to survive a late onslaught from Slavia Prague with goals from Richard Dostalek in the 77th minute and Tomas Hrdlicka seven minutes later.
The Czech side looked to have stolen the tie when they had the ball in the back of the net in the first minute of added time, but it was ruled out for offside.
Besiktas will have to wait to find out their opponents in the last eight as Lazio's fourth-round tie at Wisla Krakow was postponed due to a frozen pitch.
Bad weather in Poland left Wisla's pitch in an icy state and the Italian giants, who were held to a 3-3 draw at home in the first leg, indictaed they would rather not play the game.
A goal seven minutes from time by Fernando Avalos saw Boavista into the last eight on away goals at the expense of Hertha Berlin in an action-packed encounter.
Both sides were already down to 10 men when Argentinian defender scored with a header from a corner to help the Portuguese side overcome a 3-2 deficit from the first-leg in Germany
The goal sparked a spectaular punch-up between players and staff from both teams which halted the game for more than five minutes.
Police ran onto the pitch to break up the fights, and riot squads were deployed along the touchline.
A first-half goal from striker Antonio Sanchez gave Malaga a narrow 1-0 aggregate victory over AEK Athens in Greece.
Sanchez struck in the 27th minute after a near post cross evaded AEK goalkeeper Dionysis Hiotis.
The home side pushed forward after the break and Kizito Musampa almost scored a second for Malaga after a swift break.
Panathinaikos had two players sent-off and had to survive a fightback from Anderlecht before scraping through with a 3-2 aggregate victory.
The Greek side led 3-0 from the first leg, but were put on the back foot when Leonidas Volkolis was dismissed two minutes before half-time for a second yellow card.
Nenad Jestrovic put the Belgians ahead on the night on 71 minutes and grabbed a second 10 minutes later to set up a grandstand finale.
Panathinaikos were reduced to nine men with five minutes left when Pantelis Konstantinidis was ordered off, but Anderlecht could not force a third goal to take the tie into extra-time.
They will play Porto after they were 8-3 winners on aggregate over Denizlispor.
The Turkish side managed to salvage some pride with a 2-2 draw, but could not stop the Portuguese side going through.
Porto, who were 6-1 winners in the first-leg, went ahead two minutes before half-time through striker Derlei Silva.
Denizlispor responded with two goals in the first 15 minutes of the second half to lead 2-1, before Porto had the last word three minutes from time through Brazilian striker Clayton.
Celtic lost 3-2 in Stuttgart but go through 5-4 on aggregate.

The Scottish team took a 2-0 lead after Alan Thomspon and Chris Sutton scored twice in three minutes.
Stuttgart mounted a valiant comeback and scored through Christian Tiffert, Aleksander Hleb and Michael Mutzel but it was not enough to take them through.
They will face Liverpool in an all-British quarter-final after Gerard Houllier's side beat Auxerre 2-0 at Anfield.
