Austria will be represented in the group phase for the sixth year running thanks to Austria Wien's 4-0 return leg success over Brann in Tuesday's only match..
Modesta Uka's hat-trick played a key role in sending the hosts through, but the big moment came in the 76th minute, where Karolina Haughland received two yellow cards in less than five minutes, leaving the Norwegians down a woman.
Austria added a fourth later on to complete a 5-2 aggregate win.

The Swiss outfit tied the aggregate score 20 minutes in through Magdalena Sobal, who ended up bagging a brace towards the end of the match. Gloria Marinelli's goal just before the break proved to be the winner for Servette, who last featured in the group phase in 2021/22.
Denmark's HB Koge also ended a five-year wait to make it back to the UWCL's main rounds as they held off PSV Eindhoven 3-2 on aggregate despite a 1-1 draw. Both goals came after the break, with the Dutch team piling the pressure in the final quarter of the match.

Eintracht Frankfurt also suffered elimination, with the four-time winners taking a 5-1 loss away to Paris Saint-Germain in France.
Hayley Raso's red card midway through the second half made things very challenging for the club, once known as SG Praunheim. Down a goal at the time, they found a leveller 10 minutes after the Raso's sending off.
