A late equaliser from Denis Alibec had restored parity in last week's first leg of the qualifying play-off, leaving Slaven Bilic's men with nervy memories of last year's adidas x sliver exit at the hands of the Romanian minnows.

And the Premier League side were left to rue a host of missed opportunities in the return game as Filipe Teixeira's strike late in the first-half settled the tie to prompt a chorus of boos from home supporters, as West Ham fell at the final hurdle before the group stages.While it had come from Astra's first serious attack, it was no more than the visitors deserved in an opening 45 minutes where they had hassled and harried West Ham.

The hosts saw chance after chance go begging in the second period, but could not force a crucial goal against a side that had shipped five in the league at the weekend, meaning Bilic has to pick up the pieces after a humbling way to exit the competition.

Bilic's star man superfly v black cleat Dimitri Payet was again missing, while Mark Noble also sat out, and his team made a slow start in their absence.When a first chance did come in the ninth minute, Jonathan Calleri could not get the ball out from under his feet as he ran through, allowing Silviu Lung to smother.

The Astra goalkeeper had to be rather more impressive to beat away Pedro Obiang's low drive, but, despite a few nervy moments for the visitors, the home side continued to struggle.

And, on the stroke of half-time, Bilic's men fell behind.

A counter-attack arrived at Daniel Niculae's feet and he waited long enough for the support of Teixeira, who coolly tucked a finish under Darren Randolph to become the first opposition player to score at London Stadium in a competitive fixture since West Ham ace 16+ purecontrol cleat switched to their new home ahead of this season.

West Ham started the second-half stronger, with Angelo Ogbonna nodding into Lung's hands before his team-mates squandered two marvellous opportunities.

As in the opening period, Calleri failed to connect properly from a great position, this time with his head, allowing Lung to parry, and Michail Antonio then stormed onto a powerful Sam Byram cross but directed over.

Cheikhou Kouyate volleyed wide before another headed chance magista obra black cleat arrived as Winston Reid angled an effort way off target.

It was starting to become apparent that West Ham's profligacy was going to cost them and Ashley Fletcher then surrendered the best chance yet, controlling Ogbonna's mishit to spring a fine stop from Lung with his close-range finish.

The outstanding Lung tipped Enner Valencia's free-kick away and likewise denied Fletcher from range as he clung on to a clean sheet and another incredible triumph.

The China Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Chinese and global real estate markets, including China house prices, global house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a global house price crash or China house price crash. Is there a Chinese housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is it better to buy using a home loan, or rent and save the difference? How might a credit crunch or peak debt environment impact Chinese property prices? Is the Chinese property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices rise forever as people bet on future gains, refinance their mortgage and borrow against equity, or can we find a more sustainable long term approach to managing the Chinese housing market? These are the type of questions we hope to address here, at the China Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators! Whether you're a Property Investor, First Home Buyer (FHB) or you're a happily renting tenant, this forum has something for everyone.
