Group A7
Russian champions WFC Rossiyanka are through to the second qualifying round for the second year running thanks to a 3-0 home victory against Ukrainian side Zhilstroy-1 Kharkov.

Serbia's FK Napredak Kruševca beat Georgia's first UEFA Women's Cup representatives FC Dinamo Tbilisi 6-2 for third place.

Group A8
Belarussian side Universitet Vitebsk finished with the biggest winning margin of five points courtesy of their 2-0 win against FC NSA Sofia. The Bulgarian side did at least pip FC PAOK to second place on goal difference despite the Greek hosts' 3-2 defeat of Pärnu FC.

Group A10
AC Sparta Praha and CFF Clujana went into Matchday 3 level at the summit with four points apiece - and each team claimed victory today to become the only sides to progress without winning all their three matches. Sparta were pushed hard by Israeli hosts Maccabi Holon FC but prevailed 4-3. And that proved enough for first place as Cluj's 11-0 defeat of Cypriot club AEK Kokkinochovion helped by a Rodica Striblea hat-trick was not enough to overhaul the Czech champions' goal difference advantage. However, having taken four points against the rest of the top three in their group, Cluj are through as best runners-up and Umeå will be among their opponents in October, Sparta taking on Lyon and 2006/07 semi-finalists Brøndby IF and Kolbotn IL.
