London - BATE Borisov made history Wednesday as they became the first Belarusian side to reach the group stage of the Champions League. Leading 1-0 from the first leg, BATE held Levski Sofia to a 1-1 draw despite the first-half dismissal of Genadi Bliznyuk.

Sergei Sosnovski put them ahead after 14 minutes, with Vladimir Gadjev levelling.

Their manager Victar Goncharenko is, at 31, the youngest coach ever to lead a side into the last 32.

Kaunas's hopes of becoming the first Lithuanian side in the group stage ended as they were reduced to nine men before going down 2-0 at home to AaB.

Dynamo Kyiv strolled through their tie against Spartak, winning 4- 1, as they had in the first leg, while Banel Nicolita got the winner as Steaua Bucharest put out Galatasaray.

The other Turkish side in action, Fenerbahce, eased to a 2-1 victory over Partizan Belgrade for a 4-3 aggregate win.
