Two-time European champions Benfica were dumped out of
the Champions League in the qualifiers on Tuesday following a 2-1
defeat at PAOK Thessaloniki.
The Portuguese giants, who won the old European Cup twice in the
1960s, were knocked out by goals from Dimitrios Giannoulis and
Andrija Zivkovic.
Benfica finished second in the Portuguese top division but had a
tough draw at PAOK, who finished second in the Greek Super
League.

They will not have a chance to overcome the defeat because the
third qualifying round is being contested with single-leg ties.
Dynamo Kiev knocked out AZ Alkmaar with a 2-0 win while Gent saw
off Rapid Vienna 2-1.
