Unfancied Belarus club BATE Borisov held 10-man Anderlecht to a 2-2 draw on Wednesday to reach the Champions League's third qualifying round with a 4-3 aggregate victory. BATE's reward will be to face Bulgarian champions Levski Sofia for a berth in the lucrative group stage of the competition, where 16 teams await as many winners of the third and final qualifying round. Gennady Bliznyuk fired BATE 1-0 ahead on the night but Lucas Biglia's penalty leveled in the 23rd minute for the Belgians, who lost defender Nemanja Rnic to a 71st minute red card. Vitali Rodionov restored BATE's lead in the 83rd minute but the hosts endured a nervy finish after Jan Polak equalized three minutes later. Cypriots Anorthosis Famagusta also delighted their fans in the second round although they had to survive a second half onslaught at Rapid Vienna in the return leg of their 4-3 aggregate success. French midfielder Vincent Laban gave Anorthosis a 4-0 aggregate lead before one goal from Erwin Hoffer and a Stefan Maierhofer brace had them on the back foot in the closing stages. The Cypriots now face Greek champions Olympiakos Piraeus. Ireland's Drogheda United ended its European campaign with a creditable 2-2 draw at Dynamo Kiev that put the Ukraine side through thanks to last week's 2-1 win in Dublin. Dynamo now faces former Soviet Union first division rivals Spartak Moscow in an intriguing eastern European clash. Swiss champion Basel beat Sweden's Gothenburg 4-2 and win the tie 5-3 on aggregate thanks to two late goals by Serbia midfielder Ivan Ergic. Slovakia's Artmedia Petrzalka brushed aside Finland's Tampere United 4-2 for a 7-3 overall victory but it now faces an uphill task against Juventus.
