GENEVA: Ferencvros ended a 25-year wait to return to the Champions League group stage on Tuesday, giving Hungary a rare place on European club soccers biggest stage.
A 0-0 draw at home to Molde in the second leg of the qualifying playoffs took Ferencvros through on the away goals rule after a 3-3 draw in Norway last week.
Coach Serhiy Rebrovs team will be the first from Hungary in the 32-team group stage since Debrecen 11 years ago.
Ferencvros, which last played in the group stage in 1995, will be the lowest-ranked team in Thursdays draw in Geneva.
Rebrovs former team, Dynamo Kiev, also advanced Tuesday by beating visiting Gent 3-0 to complete a 5-1 aggregate score.
Dynamo scored from the penalty spot in each half to seal its first group-stage place in four years under new coach Mircea Lucescu. The veteran coach was a Champions League regular during a long spell at Dynamos main rival Shakhtar Donetsk.
Olympiakos sealed its 20th Champions League entry by drawing 0-0 in Cyprus against Omonia for a 2-0 aggregate win.
The last three playoff matches are played Wednesday. All qualifying games in UEFA club competitions are being played without fans in the stadiums during the coronavirus pandemic.
