(CNN) -- It is a football fairytale even Hollywood scriptwriters might view as stretching the bounds of credibility. But in a dilapidated stadium in the north east of Bulgaria, one club's European Champions League dream came true on Wednesday night. Ludogorets Razgrad, who had never before qualified for the group stages of the continent's most lucrative competition, took down 1986 winners Steaua Bucharest in scarcely believable fashion. Trailing 1-0 from the first leg in Romania, Ludogorets snatched a dramatic last minute equalizer to take the knockout tie into extra time. But then disaster struck. With a penalty shootout looming, its goalkeeper Vladislav Stoyanov was sent off for a second yellow card.
