Fulham through on away goals

Fulham are through to the third round of the Intertoto Cup on away goals after a 1-1 draw with FC Haka in Finland.

Steve Marlet put Fulham ahead just after half-time from a one-on-one, but Sami Ristila equalised in the 66th minute.

A goalless draw at home last week, however, is enough for the Cottagers to make the next stage.

Fulham started brightly, with Louis Saha causing the Haka defence concern with a couple of good early bursts forward.

Haka came out of their shell in front of their home fans after the early exchanges and troubled the Fulham backline with a series of crosses as the visitors struggled to keep possession.

Fulham could have taken the lead in the 32nd minute had Legwinski been able to control his shot when he fired wildly over the bar following a corner.

Alarm bells were ringing in the home defence as Saha and strike partner Marlet were denied first by Slawuta before Legwinski blasted over.

Fulham were ahead just two minutes after the restart. Marlet latched on to Taylor's ball and raced through the centre before scoring with a neat low shot from just inside the penalty area.

The Finns poured forward in numbers and pulled level after 66 minutes.

Taylor flapped at a left-wing cross from Lasse Karjalainen and when the ball fell behind the Fulham keeper, Ristila was on hand to prod home the loose ball.
