UEFA Champions League Review: Steaua survive scare against Trencin

Steaua Bucharest advanced to the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League despite a 3-2 defeat to Trencin on Wednesday.

The Romanian side, who won the European Cup in 1986, led 2-0 from the first leg in Slovakia.

Despite Milan Rundic seeing red for a second bookable offence, Wesley netted a second to put Trencin within a goal of qualification, but Steaua hung on to set up a tie with Partizan. 

The New Saints suffered extra-time heartbreak at Videoton, losing 2-1 on aggregate against the Hungarian side.
