Part 3/5:
Tottenham Hotspur also reached the last 16, relying heavily on their youth academy graduates in a match against Elfsborg from Sweden. The win provided a much-needed relief for Spurs, helping them avoid the additional matches associated with playoff rounds.
However, the match was not without its challenges; the team suffered another injury when defender R. Drusin had to leave the field after twisting his knee. Mickey Vanen made his long-awaited return to the starting lineup after being sidelined since early December but lasted only 45 minutes.
