Group 8: Last day joy for CSK

Russian side CSK VVS Samara got the better of Portugal's SU 1. Dezembro on the final day to win UEFA Women's Cup Group 8 and make the quarter-final stage.

Kilmarnock hold CSK
CSK, containing seven Russian internationals, suffered a first-match setback when they were held to a goalless draw by Scottish team Kilmarnock FCL, despite hitting the crossbar and having a shot cleared off the line.

Fernandes double
Meanwhile, 1. Dezembro established themselves as early pacesetters as they came from behind to beat Austrian group hosts IAC FC Tiroler Loden 2-1, Anke Stehrer giving the home side a first-half lead before two after the break from Edite Fernandes turned the game.

Russians secure win
1. Dezembro made it two wins out of two as they broke Kilmarnock's resistance with a 2-0 victory, as CSK kept alive their hopes of matching compatriots TNK Ryazan's 2001/02 quarter-final place with a 4-0 win against Tirol.

1. Dezembro overhauled
However, 1. Dezembro only needed a draw in the decider against CSK to claim that last-eight berth as their own. But CSK had other ideas, and secured a 3-0 victory to book a meeting with Arsenal LFC over two legs. Kilmarnock finished third in the group after beating Tirol 4-1.
