UEFA Futsal Cup holders MFK Dinamo Moskva have completed the lineup for the 2007/08 final four after drawing with Elite round Group B hosts Luparense Calcio A5 in Padova.
Lineup complete
Dinamo needed only a point tonight to ensure their place in the final four from 24 to 26 April alongside Russian compatriots MFK Viz-Sinara Ekaterinburg, 2006/07 hosts and bronze medallists ElPozo Murcia FS of Spain, plus Kazakhstan's Kairat Almaty. And Dinamo's 2-2 draw meant the Russian champions did just that. UEFA will now decide on the venue for the showpiece event, which begins with the semi-finals and ends two days later with matches for first and third places.
Benfica consolation
Italy's Luparense came second despite SL Benfica's 7-3 win against KMF Municipium Casino Pljevlja in the early game between two sides already eliminated. However, Montenegro's debutant representatives Municipium had enjoyed a fine run, as one of only two clubs to reach the 16-team third stage after starting in August's Preliminary round.
