It was a dramatic Tuesday night in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, with all three matches ending in away wins — a rare and thrilling twist that set the tone for an unpredictable European campaign.

Cypriot underdogs Pafos FC continued their fairytale run by stunning Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade) on Serbian soil. The visitors raced to a two-goal lead early on, silencing the home crowd. Though Crvena Zvezda pulled one back, they now face an uphill task heading into the return leg.

In Glasgow, things went from bad to worse for Rangers, who were dismantled 3-1 by a clinical Club Brugge side. The Belgians stormed to a commanding 3-0 advantage before the hosts managed a late consolation goal — a night to forget at Ibrox.

Meanwhile in Budapest, Ferencváros gave their fans hope with an early strike, only to collapse under relentless pressure from Qarabağ FK. The Azerbaijani champions turned the game around in emphatic fashion, walking away with a decisive away victory.
