Lille leaves it late to progress in Champions League

LONDON (AP) -- French club Lille needed an extra-time goal by Tulio De Melo to advance to the group stage of the Champions League on Wednesday at the expense of Copenhagen.

The Brazilian striker headed in a cross from Nolan Roux in the 105th minute to give Lille a 2-0 victory on the night and a 2-1 win on aggregate. Lucas Digne had scored in the first half to tie the two-legged match at 1-1.

Elsewhere, Borussia Moenchengladbach beat Dynamo Kiev 2-1 but was still eliminated 4-3 on aggregate and Celtic progressed to the lucrative group stage for the first time since 2008 by beating Helsingborg 2-0 for a 4-0 overall win.

Spartak Moscow drew 1-1 at Fenerbahce to go through 3-2 and Cluj ousted FC Basel, which made the last 16 of the competition last season, by winning 1-0 for 3-1 overall.
