Dynamo Kiev and Rangers exit early

Three players were sent off as Malmo snatched an 80th minute equaliser to draw 1-1 at home to Rangers and go through 2-1 on aggregate.

Dynamo, who took part in the group stage for 12 seasons in a row until 2009/10, will miss out for the second time running after being knocked out by Russians Rubin Kazan where they lost the second leg 2-1.

A 1-1 draw at Trabzonspor was enough for twice former winners Benfica while Twente Enschede, FC Zurich, Sturm Graz and APOEL also went into the final round of the qualifiers following Wednesday's 12 ties.

Rangers, held 1-1 at home by 1979 runners-up Malmo, had Steven Whittaker sent off in the 19th minute for throwing the ball at an opponent's head but still went in front through Nikica Jelavic five minutes later.

The Portuguese League runners-up extended it with a 19th minute goal by Nolito, signed from Barcelona, who collected Javier Saviola's pass and drifted past two opponents before scoring.
