Referee: Dusan Krchnak (Czechoslovakia)

• Saints leave Sweden with a credible 3-3 draw, but have massive questions regarding the Czech referee who disallows 2 perfectly good Saints goals and gives the Swedes a highly debatable and controversial penalty.
• The away side are dominant throughout the first half, but go in at halftime baffled to be 2-1 down after goals from Speirs and McGarvey are inexplicably disallowed before Lundin opens the scoring for the Swedes with their first attack on the half hour.
• Brian Gallacher finally equalises for the strongly fancied visitors 5 minutes before the break, but the Swedes regain the lead from the penalty spot after the linesman had flagged an attacker offside but the referee ignored it, and then gave a penalty after the play continued and Clarke was penalised.
• Despite continuing to dominate in the second half, Saints find themselves 3-1 down after 65 minutes, when the incredible defending of the previous round was nowhere to be seen as Tommy Wilson gifts Andersson a third.
• However, Brian Gallacher came to Saints rescue with 2 goals in the last 10 minutes, completing the first ever hat-trick from a St. Mirren player in Europe in the process, and put Saints in an extremely strong position in the overall tie.
• Saints now needed any win or a draw under 3-3 to progress to the third round of the UEFA Cup (Last 16) for the first time.
