Four-time European champions Eintracht Frankfurt cruised into the last eight with a 3-1 home win which wrapped up a 5-2 aggregate triumph over PSV Eindhoven. The Dutch visitors had briefly levelled the tie through Liz Rijsbergen, but two goals from Nicole Anyomi helped to ensure the hosts progressed unscathed.

Hammarby, meanwhile, replicated their 3-1 first-leg away win back in Stockholm to defeat Ajax 6-2 on aggregate. Second-half goals from Asato Miyagawa, Smilla Holmberg and Vilde Hasund settled the hosts' nerves after an early strike from Joëlle Smits had given Ajax hope.

Young Boys won 3-0 at Sparta Praha last week and on Wednesday seemed set to be the first Swiss team to reach a UEFA women's club quarter-final. However, Sparta rallied in Bern and wiped out their hosts' advantage within 36 minutes, before Michaela Khýrová got her third of the night deep in added time to send the Czech side through. It was the first time in any UEFA women's club competition that a team have progressed after losing a home leg by three goals or more.

Breidablik also had to overturn a deficit on their travels after losing 1-0 at home to Fortuna Hjørring and falling 3-0 behind on aggregate early in the second half of the return. But the Icelandic outfit then began to turn the tie, with an own goal in added time forcing an additional 30 minutes, in which 17-year-old substitute Edith Kristín Kristjánsdóttir gave the visitors victory.

Sporting CP also went through in extra time, edging past Glasgow City. Telma Encarnação – who equalised in the first leg – repeated the feat for a second 1-1 draw in regulation time, and she then struck again in the 100th minute as her side triumphed 3-1 on the night. Häcken are also through and will play Breidablik, having ending Inter's debut European season with a 0-0 draw in Italy to progress 1-0 overall.
