A hat-trick from French international Sylvain Wiltord and double from Ghanaian Mickael Essien helped Lyon on their way to a 10-2 aggregate score after the French team had virtually assured their spot in the next round for the second year running after a 3-0 first leg win at the Weserstadion two weeks ago.

Wiltord quickly moving forward , opened the score after eight minutes from just inside the area with a pass from midfielder Florent Malouda.

Essien netted his first six minutes later with a leftfooted shot from just outside the area, and put the hosts 3-0 up after 29 minutes .

Werder hit back two minutes later with Frenchman Johan Micoud reducing the deficit when he profited from a deflected centre to beat Gregory Coupet.

But once again the hosts found a gap in Werder's defence which allowed Sidney Govou take off and pass to Wiltord who slid the ball past beleaguered Werder goalie Andreas Reinke after 54 minutes.

A foul on midfielder Frank Baumann handed Werder a lifeline and they scored their second after 57 minutes from a Valerien Ismael penalty.

But the worst was yet to come for the Germans as Malouda struck after 60 minutes, with Wiltord netting his third three minutes later.. Lyon were handed a penalty with Jeremie Berthod converting it after 79 minutes.
