Five of the ten two-match series in the UEFA Champions League's playoff round concluded Tuesday.
At Tel Aviv, Israel:
Eran Zahavi scored during second-half stoppage time (90'+2) to enable Hapoel Tel-Aviv to gain a 1-1 home deadlock in game two of their two-match series with Red Bull Salzburg and a berth in the group stage as they won the two-game series 4-3 on aggregate.
At Tiraspol, Moldova:
Alexander Frei scored twice in the second half (80', 87') as FC Basel overpowered FC Sheriff 3-0 on the road in game two to take their two-game set 4-0 on aggregate.
At Brussels, Belgium:
In game two between Partizan Belgrade and RSC Anderlecht, Cleo scored twice in regulation time for the visiting Serbian club at 15 and 53 minutes to give Partizan a 2-0 lead, only to see Romelu (64') and Guillaume Gillet (71') score for the hosts to square the contest at 2-2. With the score for the two-game series deadlocked at 4-4 on aggregate and with 30 minutes of overtime unable to resolve the issue, with Cleo, Radosav Petrovic, and Vojislav Stankovic all converting their penalty kicks, while three of Anderlecht's tries ended up sailing over the crossbar, Partizan won the penalty-kick shootout 3-2 to advance to the group stage for the first time since the 2003-04 campaign.
At Seville, Spain:
Lima's second-half hat trick (58', 85', 90') enabled SC Braga to hold off Sevilla 4-3 on the road in game two and win their two-game series 5-3 on aggregate.
At Genoa, Italy:
Markus Rosenberg's goal in second-half stoppage time (90'+3) forced overtime, where Claudio Pizarro scored the series winner (100') as Werder Bremen, despite being down 3-1 after regulation play in game two, still defeated Sampdoria 5-4 on aggregate after the conclusion of overtime to advance to the group stage.
