BATE Borisov went out victorious 1-0 over Serbia's Partizan on the home ground in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League playoff.

BATE made a good use of their numerical advantage as they took a narrow lead over the Serbian team. Partizan, down to ten men since the 45th-minute dismissal of Marko Jevtovic, conceded 15 minutes from time when BATE's Mikhail Gordeichuk nodded in a corner.

The second leg is scheduled for 26 August in Belgrade.
