In the second qualifying round, United paid their first ever visit to Finland, and played out an uninspiring 0-0 draw in the pouring rain with Myllykosken Pallo 47 in the town of Anjalankoski. However, there was nothing to suggest United were in any danger of missing out on going through to the next round.

Missing out on the 1st leg through injury, captain Paul Ritchie returned for the home leg at Tannadice, where MyPa were close to taking an early lead through Adriano. United then went all out for a goal, and after a few good chances Mark Kerr buried a shot into the far corner of the net and Collin Samuel put United 2 up with a good finish. United were now in total control and had chances to finish the match, but two goals weren't enough as sloppy defending in the last quarter of the game made it 2-2 and United embarrassingly went out on the away goals rule.
