Action in the playoff round for UEFA Champions League group stage berths continued Wednesday.
Champions Path:

Goals from Mohammad Ghadir (22') and Shlomi Arbeitman (84') lifted Maccabi Haifa FC to a 2-1 road win in game one of their two-match series with FC Red Bull Salzburg.
At Riga, Latvia:
Johan Vonlanthen (12'), Silvan Aegerter (55'), and Dusan Djuric (75') provided the goalpower that lifted FC Zurich to an overpowering 3-0 road win in game one over FK Ventspils.
At Sofia, Bulgaria:
Debreceni VSC are on the brink of becoming the first Hungarian club to reach the Champions League's group stage in fourteen years (Ferencvarosi TC in 1995-96) after their 2-1 game one road win over Levski Sofia. Laszlo Bodnar (12') and Peter Czvitkovics (76') provided the goalpower for the guests.
Non-Champions Path:
