Former winners Feyenoord, Galatasaray bow out
The Bundesliga side, who lost the first leg at home 1-0, a defeat which led to the dismissal of coach Klaus Augenthaler, succumbed to a 67th-minute goal by Moroccan international Mourad Hdiouad as the Bulgarians booked their place in the group stage with a 2-0 aggregate victory. Leverkusen's caretaker coach Rudi Voeller, who holds the post of director of football, said CSKA deserved to progress. "It's not just me but everyone in the team is disappointed and depressed," said Voeller. "We tried everything and we gave it everything but if you don't score in 180 minutes you can't get through to the next round." Bundesliga rivals VfB Stuttgart, who like Bayer have made a moderate start to their league season to put pressure on Italian coach Giovanni Trapattoni, sneaked through despite a 1-0 defeat in Slovenia against NK Domzale. An early strike from Dalibor Stevanovic put Domzale back in the tie but Stuttgart, 2-0 up from the home leg, held out. GREAT ESCAPE Two late goals, including a penalty four minutes from time from Dutch
international Denny Landzaat, rescued last season's semi-finalists AZ Alkmaar
from elimination as the Dutch side overcame Russia's Krylya Sovietov Samara on
away goals.
