Ajax struck twice in the last four minutes of their UEFA Women’s Europa Cup tie away to Malmö to win 3-2 on aggregate.

Round of 16 Second legs:

Feyenoord 0-3 Wolfsburg (Agg: 0-10)
Czarni Sosnowiec 1-5 Brann (Agg: 1-8)
Brøndby 2-0 Rosenborg (Agg: 3-1)
Fenerbahçe 0-2 Real Sociedad (Agg: 0-4)
Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 PSV Eindhoven (Agg: 4-1)
Hammarby 4-0 Spartak Myjava (Agg: 7-1)
Malmö 0-2 Ajax (Agg: 2-3)
Torreense v Sparta Praha (Thurs 12 Nov. 1st leg: 2-2)

Ajax trailed 2-1 from their home leg, but Bo van Egmond levelled the aggregate scores with time running out, and Sherida Spitse’s deflected shot past Zecira Musovic dramatically sent them into the quarter-finals.

Hammarby, last season’s runners-up, comfortably defeated Spartak Myjava to secure a meeting with Ajax.

Eintracht Frankfurt eliminated PSV Eindhoven at this stage for the second year in succession.

Fenerbahçe drew a crowd of over 7,000 for their match against Real Sociedad, but the Spanish side repeated their 2-0 first leg victory.
