PANETOLIKOS 5-1 IALYSOS (AGG. 9-1)
Having done the hard work in the first leg, Panetolikos could afford to take their foot off the gas at home to Ialysos, but the Agrinio outfit produced a confident display to claim a 5-1 victory and a 9-1 aggregate triumph.
In the Super League, however, Panetolikos are still yet to win a game as they sit rock bottom of the pile.
Following a goalless first half, two quick-fire goals from Admir Bajorvic and Mimito gave Panetolikos the lead, before Ialysos midfielder Fiorilo Gelaj contrived to score a sloppy own goal at close range.
Two further goals from Bajrovic and Igor Jovanovic completed the job. Christos Petavrakis grabbed a consolation for Ialysos.
ERGOTELIS 0-1 TRIKALA (AGG. 2-4)
Leading 3-2 from the first leg, Trikala successfully negotiated a tricky trip to Ergotelis, triumphing 1-0 on the night to seal their qualification to the Round of 16.
Angelos Vertzos scored the only goal in the seventh minute of proceedings, turning the ball beyond the goalkeeper from inside the penalty area.
In the second half, Ergotelis applied heavy pressure on Trikala as they searched for a way back into the tie, but the visitors held firm thanks to some solid defending.
