Ludogorets 2-2 Olympiacos (3-3 agg; Ludogorets win 4-2 on pens)
Greek champions Olympiacos are out of the Champions League at the 3rd qualifying round after a penalty shootout defeat to Ludogorets in Bulgaria.
The first leg ended 1-1 in Piraeus last week and a 2-2 draw in Razgrad on Tuesday evening would traditionally have seen Olympiacos through on away goals. However, the deciding rule was abolished ahead of this season and instead the sides contested a penalty shootout in which the hosts emerged victorious.
