After claiming a 2-0 win away from home in the first leg already, Hertha BSC took it easy in the return leg against IB Ljubeljana as they settled a for a 1-0 win. A direct free kick from Ebert gave Hertha the lead within minutes and the game could have ended after that basically as nothing much happened besides Hertha dominating without really pushing for more goals though. The win sees Hertha enter the main stages of the Uefa Cup while IB Ljubeljana were clearly too lightweight and are eliminated.

Only 2 minutes were played when Hertha were awarded a free kick from almost 30 meters distance to goal. This was no problem for Ebert though as his fierce shot landed in the top corner of goal as the hosts had their desired early lead. Pantelic should have doubles the score soon after but failed eye to eye with the Slovenian goalkeeper. The game was one-way traffic, but Hertha clearly were too careless to really chase a higher score as no more goals came in the first half.

IB Ljubeljana came to their first decent chance in the 2nd half when Grabic just missed target with a shot, but this was basically it from the visitors. Hertha were in total control, but Raffael and Domovchiyski missed further good chances for the hosts. In the end no more goals came as Hertha claimed a 1-0 win in a game that was basically decided within the opening minutes.
