Danish side FC Nordsjælland made absolutely certain of their place in the UEFA Cup second qualifying round with a crushing 5-0 home win over Estonian opponents FC TVMK Tallinn.
Early strike
Nordsjælland may have been leading 3-0 from the away, first leg on 17 July but they were in a hurry to rubber-stamp their progress at Farum Park. Patrice Bernier opened the scoring after only four minutes, before TVMK were overrun in the second half.
Floodgates open
Martin Bernburg struck twice after half-time as the match became a procession for the hosts – first with a penalty after 53 minutes, then with a neat finish from Bajram Fetai's cross 60 seconds later. Andreas Dahl heaped more misery on the visitors with a 64th-minute free-kick, before Marcus Pode sealed the victory with a minute remaining.
