Lyon booked their place in the UEFA Champions League group stage, drawing 1-1 with Rubin Kazan in their play-off second leg to seal a 4-2 aggregate win over Rubin Kazan.

Trailing 3-1 from the first leg, Rubin knew they needed two goals to advance but none were forthcoming in a tense first half.

Bibras Natkho finally struck 13 minutes from the end to give his side hope, but Bakari Kone headed home ten minutes later to ensure Lyon reached the group stage for the 12th straight season.
