Fenerbahce stun Lyon in Champions League as AEK crush Levski

Fenerbahce stunned Lyon in the Champions League on Wednesday, securing their progression to the league phase by winning 2-0 in France. Goals from Vedat Muriqi and English defender Archie Brown provided the winning margin after the teams were tied 1-1 in the first leg in Istanbul the previous week. Exciting Belgium winger Malick Fofana gave Lyon a glimmer of hope with a second-half goal, but offside decisions denied Lois Openda and Boudache additional scores.

Hungarian Barnabas Varga scored twice for AEK Athens, who beat Levski Sofia 4-0 to advance to the league phase following a 0-0 draw in the first leg in Bulgaria. Razvan Marin added a penalty kick to AEK's tally. Meanwhile, Viking Stavanger came from a goal down to beat Dinamo Zagreb 3-1 in Norway, progressing 5-3 on aggregate to the group phase for the first time.

Albanian Arber Hoxha put Dinamo ahead, but Zlatko Tripic equalized from the penalty spot early in the second half. Edvin Austbo and Tobias Moi scored two goals apiece to ensure Viking's advancement.
