Benfica, Malmo, and Young Boys booked their places in the Champions League group stage on Tuesday by defeating their opponents on aggregate in the qualifying round.

Playing the last hour with 10 men at PSV Eindhoven, Benfica hung on for a 0-0 draw. A 2-1 win in the home leg last week was enough to lift coach Jorge Jesus’ team back into the Champions League elite after a one-year absence.

Benfica defender Lucas Verissimo was sent off in the 32nd minute and the two-time European champion held out with a veteran back-line pairing of captain Nicolas Otamendi and Jan Vertonghen.

PSV, the 1988 European Cup winner against Benfica in the final, wasted its best chance in the 62nd when Israel forward Eran Zahavi struck the bar with a close-range shot.

Malmo rode on the brilliance of Veljko Birmancevic, who has been a star of the Swedish champion’s progress through four qualifying rounds.

The Serbia international scored his fourth goal in five games with a free-kick from distance. The goal was key in a 2-1 loss at Ludogorets that carried Malmo through 3-2 on aggregate.

Young Boys advanced with a second 3-2 win against Ferencvaros to repeat the first-leg result in Switzerland last week.

The Swiss champion led early through defender Cedric Zesiger’s goal, then leveled at 2-2 early in the second half with Christian Fassnacht’s goal.

Ferencváros had defender Aïssa Laïdouni sent off before Young Boys’ United States forward Jordan Siebatcheu saw his penalty saved. The win was sealed in stoppage time by substitute Felix Mambimbi.

Former US international David Wagner will lead Young Boys back into the Champions League less than one year after being fired by Schalke during a Bundesliga-record winless run of games.

Three more second-leg games are scheduled for Wednesday to complete the 32-team lineup for the groups. The draw will be made Thursday in Istanbul, Turkey.

PSV, Ludogorets, and Ferencvaros switch across to the Europa League groups which will be drawn on Friday.
