Valencia, Braga, Hamburg and Ajax all booked their places in the knockout stages of the UEFA Cup after a pulsating evening of European football that delivered 26 goals across eight games.
Valencia got the point they needed to progress from Group G thanks to Nikola Zigic's second-half equaliser against Club Brugge in a 1-1 draw at the Mestalla.
Both goals came from headers, with Zigic's 60th-minute effort cancelling out Antonin Alcaraz's first-half opener for Club Brugge.
Hamburg went through courtesy of goals from Croatian duo Ivica Olic and Mladen Petric in a 2-0 win over Slavia Prague, who are now out.
Olic pounced to score on the half-hour mark and Petric netted an injury-time penalty - after Slavia keeper Martin Vaniak had been sent off for bringing down David Jarolim in the area.
Braga confirmed their passage with a 2-1 win over Heerenveen in Holland.
Gerald Sibon had put the hosts ahead in the first half from a free-kick, but the Portuguese side hit back through Wason Renteria and a Luis Aguiar free-kick.
With Wolfsburg avoiding defeat at home to Portsmouth, a win for Braga was enough to secure their passage.
A Vagner Love hat-trick secured CSKA Moscow's position at the top of Group H and put a dent in Nancy's qualification hopes after a seven-goal thriller at the Marcel Picot stadium ended 4-3 to the Russian side.
The Brazilian scored two minutes from the end to seal the win after Nancy thought they had stolen a point through Basile Camerling's late strike. Vagner Love and fellow Brazilian Ramon had given the visitors a 3-1 lead over Nancy, for whom Monsef Zerka and Julien Feret also tallied.
Deportivo La Coruna must wait until their final Group H match to secure their passage to the last 32 after a 1-1 draw with Lech Poznan in Poland.
Diego Colotto put the visitors ahead in the first minute but Hernan Rengifo levelled before half-time for Lech and Deportivo were grateful to keeper Daniel Aranzubia for some fine saves.
A late goal from Mikael Antonsson ensured FC Copenhagen kept alive their hopes with a 1-1 draw against Scandinavian rivals Rosenborg in Group G.
Steffen Iversen's first-half strike looked to have earned the Norwegians the points but Antonsson's header with five minutes remaining sparked celebrations at Parken.
The result means FCK's final group match against Club Brugge will be decisive as both teams look to finish in the top three.
