Champions League Round-Up: Ajax Draw Blank, Olympiakos Take Healthy Lead & Other First Leg Results

The crucial Champions League play-off ties have kicked off with the first legs of these do-or-die clashes taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday night.

Among the sides taking part were the last season's semi-finalists Ajax, who drew blank in Cyrpus, while giants of Greek football Olympiakos took a three-goal advantage away from their first leg clash against Krasnodar.

Beaten by Tottenham in the semi finals of last season's competition, only one match stands in Ajax' way before they can embark on another Champions League fairytale after a 0-0 draw away at Apoel Nicosia.
