Bolton seal qualification

Despite all the talk of Atletico Madrid's dirty tactics prior to their visit to the Vicente Calderon, Bolton qualified for the next round of the UEFA Cup thanks to a superb 0-0 draw in Spain.

Jose Antonio Reyes, before Bolton almost struck a decisive early blow.

Stelios Giannakopoulos was well placed 12 yards from goal, but his shot was tipped over the crossbar by Italian goalkeeper Christian Abbiati.

Atletico soon hit back, with Mariano Pernia firing wide from 20 yards, before Jussi Jaaskelainen had to make a smart save from Maxi Rodriguez's close-range effort.

Former Premier League pair Diego Forlan and Luis Garcia both failed to test Jaaskelainen further, but Bolton were now under the cosh and Forlan again went close just before the interval.

After the break the home side continued to dominate, as Pernia and Garcia again threatened Jaaskelainen's goal.

Just before the hour Bolton boss Gary Megson rang the changes, introducing first-leg goalscorer Diouf and Ivan Campo for Gavin McCann and Giannakopoulos.

Cleber Santana then shot wide for Atletico from 12 yards out, as the Spaniards continued to push forward looking for the goal they needed to level up the aggregate score.

Reyes fired a shot wide from the edge of the area following a corner 16 minutes from time, before both Diouf and Kevin Davies were cautioned as Bolton desperately hung on to the narrowest of advantages.

Bolton have qualified and deserved it after battling away for so long.
