LONDON, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Former winners Feyenoord and Galatasaray bowed out of the UEFA Cup on Thursday as Rapid Bucharest and Tromso secured surprise places in the group stage.

Holders CSKA Moscow made light of an injury crisis to ease through 6-2 on aggregate against FC Midtjylland. Brazilian playmaker Daniel Carvalho repeated his first-leg feat by scoring twice in a 3-1 win in Denmark.

Dutch league leaders Feyenoord, who won the trophy at their own De Kuip stadium in 2002, lost 1-0 in Romania as Rapid Bucharest advanced 2-1 on aggregate.

Mugurel Buga headed Rapid's winner after 12 minutes.

"Tonight proved that some of my boys were not prepared for what is demanded at European level," Feyenoord coach Erwin Koeman told reporters.

"I hope my team will learn from this."

Tromso, a modest 10th in the 14-team Norwegian championship, dumped out 2000 winners Galatasaray after a 1-1 draw in Istanbul put them through 2-1.

Canada midfielder Patrice Bernier fired Tromso ahead before Hakan Sukur replied late on.

Bayer Leverkusen, still searching for a coach after Matthias Sammer turned the former Champions League finalists down earlier this week, were knocked out by CSKA Sofia.
