Two goals, scored by Steaua strikers Dorel Zaharia and Rica Neaga led the team to the Champion League's groups, for the second year in a row.

The victory in front of the Polish champion BATE Borisov was brought by the undeniable pragmatism legend player Gheorghe Hagi imposed on the team he now trains.

A goal in the 10th and another in the 55th minute made the final score 4:2 in favor of Steaua after second leg.

An incredible presence on the field was Zapata, Steaua's goalkeeper, who defended his gate in at least two critical moments that might have turned the game's destiny.
