Rosengård 5-1 Verona (agg: 8-2)
The Swedish champions are through to their fourth quarter-final in five seasons after Marta's hat-trick made light work of the Italian visitors and completed a comfortable aggregate win in what was Josée Bélanger's last game for Rosengård. Melania Gabbiadini had in fact put the visitors into the lead to give them some hope before Belanger's equaliser. After the interval the Brazilian took over, her second-half treble added to by Silvia Fuselli's own goal to ease the Swedish side through.
