UEFA Cup: Boro's destiny in their own hands

Last updated : 02 December 2004 By Reggie Holdsworth
Following tonights results in the UEFA Cup Boro go into their final game as group leaders, but only a win will guarentee top spot.

Boro lead the group on 6 points with both Partizan and Villarreal snapping at their heals with 5 points. Lazio are out after completing their games tonight, with a third draw against Egaleo. The Greek's will just be playing for pride in their final game against Villarreal.

A victory for Boro over Partizan will seal the group, however a draw would give Villarreal the opportunity to win the group, if they can overcome Egaleo at El Madrigal.

Assuming Villarreal beat Egaleo, Boro will not want to draw against Partizan, as this will mean that Boro finish second and play against one of the Champions League drop-outs.

Tonights results:
Egaleo 2 - 2 Lazio
Partizan 1 - 1 Villarreal
