UEFA Champions League Review: Dinamo Zagreb held as BATE and Celtic triumph

Luxembourg's Fola Esch held Dinamo Zagreb to a 1-1 draw in their UEFA Champions League second qualifying round, first-leg clash on Wednesday.

Fola were thumped 6-0 at the same stage by Dinamo two years ago but left the Croatian capital all square having taken the lead after 24 minutes, when Samir Hadji turned home from close range.

Dedryck Boyata headed Celtic into the lead on his debut as the Scottish Premiership champions beat Iceland's Stjarnan 2-0.

Following Boyata's goal in the 44th minute, Stefan Johansen gave the hosts breathing space after half-time and the margin of victory might have been far greater but for Stjarnan goalkeeper Gunnar Nielsen, who pulled off a string of fine stops before keeping out substitute Leigh Griffiths' penalty.
