Europa FC, hailing from Gibraltar, were beaten 6-0 by Slovan as Karol Meszaros netted a first-half hat-trick.
West Ham will hope to impress new manager Slaven Bilic by extending their 3-0 advantage over Andorra’s FC Lusitanos. Diafra Sakho helped himself to a first-leg brace.
Things are far from straightforward for the Scottish Premiership teams involved.
Aberdeen and St Johnstone drew 1-1 and lost 1-0 respectively in their away legs against Shkendija and Alashkert FC.

Nomme Kalju, Jagiellonia, Slask Wroclaw, FK Cukaricki, Randers FC, FH Hafnarfjordur and Koper all take 1-0 leads back to their own patch, while Dinamo Batumi, UCD and Flora are ahead by the same margin heading into away trips.
Beroe Stara Zagora, Apollon Limassol, Rosenborg and Shakhtyor Soligorsk all scored twice in away wins to be well placed this week as FC Shirak and FK Kukesi prepare to take 2-0 leads on the road.
FC Vaduz must complete the formalities of a tie with San Marino's La Fiorita, who they lead 5-0.
