the first day of the 2013/14 uefa champions league concluded in dramatic fashion, as ten-man eb/streymur came from two goals down to secure a first qualifying round first-leg draw against fc lusitans in andorra.
as if cristian martínez's first half-double was not a big enough obstacle to overcome, gert åge hansen's red card in giving away a penalty on 62 minutes made the visitors' task mountainous. however, bruninho failed to make it three from the spot and was salting his wounds when arnbjørn and then levi hansen struck twice in as many minutes to give eb/streymur the momentum for the 9 july return in torshavn.
it was the hosts, in search of a first win in this competition, who came out with intent, and visiting keeper andrás gángó was forced into a string of early saves. he could not prevent martínez scoring from the spot, however, after hansen upended bruninho to earn a booking on 24 minutes.
martínez doubled his side's lead five minutes later with a near-post header which left carlos sanchez's team in control. victory then seemed certain when the eb/streymur no4 was dismissed after conceding a second penalty. bruninho conspired to miss, though, and within seven minutes it was all square.
arnbjørn hansen powered in a header, before winning a penalty which his namesake levi converted, to give rúni nolsøe's side two precious away goals to take into next week's second leg.
