SOFIA, July 15 (Reuters) - Bulgarian champions Levski Sofia ended their 13-match winless run in Europe by thrashing Andorra's Sant Julia 4-0 in the first leg of their Champions League's second qualifying round tie on Wednesday.

Levski, whose last win in the European competitions was against Italy's Chievo in August 2006, failed to score in the first half but struck four times after the break.

The visitors finished the game with nine men after defender Diego Abdian and striker Alejandro Romero were sent off in the second half. (Reporting by Angel Krasimirov, Editing by Nigel Hunt)
