(CNN) -- Bayern Munich are through to the group stages of the Champions League after a 1-0 win at Swiss side FC Zurich gave them a 3-1 aggregate success in their play-off second leg.

A strong Bayern side, featuring eight members of the Germany national side, secured their place in the last 32 courtesy of an early strike from Mario Gomez.

Gomez was left unmarked in the area to finish off a flowing move involving Toni Kroos and Thomas Mueller, for the only goal of the game in the seventh minute.

Bayern -- who will be hosting the final of the competition in May 2012 -- now join compatriots Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen in the main draw.

Four other second round ties were played on Tuesday, with Spanish side Villarreal also sealing their place in the group stage with a 3-0 win over Odense of Denmark, for a 3-1 aggregate success.

Highly-rated Italian striker Giuseppe Rossi netted a close range double, the second coming via a superb curling right-wing cross from Ruben Cani.

Substitute Carlos Marchena added a third after goalkeeper Stefan Wessels fumbled his long-range shot, but a bad-tempered second half saw each side have a player sent off, with the home side losing Borja Valero for head-buttting Andreas Johansson in the stomach.

Dynamo Zagreb are also through to the group stages, but they were given a scare by Malmo of Sweden.

Zagreb side led 4-1 from the first leg in Croatia, but Malmo won 2-0 on the night, just failing to get the third goal that would have seen them progress on the away goals rule.

Belgian side Genk beat Maccabi Haifa of Israel 2-1 on the night, a result that left the sides tied at 3-3 on aggregate.

The scoreline remained the same through extra time, but Genk prevailed 4-1 on penalties to seal their place.

Brazilian striker Ailton scored twice, with the decisive goal coming three minutes from time, to give Cypriot side APOEL Nicosia a 3-1 victory over Wisla Krakow of Poland for a 3-2 aggregate success.

There is a consolation prize for the losing teams with a place in the group stages of the Europa League.

New York (CNN) -- Lawyers for former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn said they are not worried about a pending civil suit from his accuser after a New York judge dropped criminal charges against him.

"She doesn't have much, if any, chance in a civil case," William Taylor told CNN's Piers Morgan Tuesday night, the same day that a New York judge dismissed sexual assault charges against Strauss-Kahn. "The same difficulties, the same lies will come back to haunt her in a civil case."

A grand jury indicted Strauss-Kahn in May over allegations he sexually assaulted housekeeper Nafissatou Diallo in his suite at the swanky Sofitel hotel in New York.

Prosecutors requested that the charges be dropped after they began to question Diallo's credibility. They said the Guinean woman had lied on an asylum application. She also said she had been gangraped by soldiers in her native country, but later admitted it never happened, prosecutors said.

Diallo's lawyer Kenneth Thompson said she was crushed by the judge's decision.

"Devastated," Thompson told CNN's Don Lemon. "She has told the truth about what happened in that hotel room. She can't understand why Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance would abandon her. She and her daughter have been crying through the night."

Charges dropped in Dominique Strauss-Kahn

Thompson said Diallo was raped like she said in her asylum application. Thompson wondered if prosecutors pushed to drop the charges because Strauss-Kahn is rich and powerful.

"Clearly, the D.A. looked at Dominique Strauss-Kahn, his status, his power," said Thompson. "If Dominique Strauss-Kahn was a bus driver from the South Bronx or a construction worker from Harlem or a plumber... Do you think that Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance would care what was in Miss Diallo's asylum application?"

Thompson said he is glad that he filed a civil suit because he did not "trust the process."

Vance, in a news release Tuesday, said prosecutors had no choice because they were "not persuaded -- beyond a reasonable doubt -- that a crime has been committed, based on the evidence we have."

He said Diallo's testimony "was fatally damaged, for several key reasons."

Toobin: Dismissal was about proof, not truth

Along with the asylum application, Diallo lied about the specifics of her whereabouts after the rape incident and information on tax forms, prosecutors said.

A crowd of protesters gathered near the courtroom in New York Tuesday in support of Diallo, carrying handwritten signs reading "No impunity 4 rapists in power" and "Nafissatou we believe you."

Strauss-Kahn's lawyers had maintained his innocence throughout the process.

"I think what we said from the beginning, there was an act in that room that was consensual, not forcible and I think we're going to leave it at that," said Benjamin Brafman, another one of Diallo's lawyers. "Unless you yourself have been accused falsely of a serious crime that you did not commit, I think it's impossible to really understand the full measure of relief that Dominique Strauss-Khan felt today."

(CNN) -- The businessman son of embattled Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi appears to be out of rebel hands and says he wants to negotiate a cease-fire to save Tripoli from "a sea of blood."

In an e-mail exchange with CNN Senior International Correspondent Nic Robertson, Saadi Gadhafi -- whose capture had been announced by the rebel leadership on Sunday -- said he had the authority to negotiate and wanted to discuss a cease-fire with U.S. and NATO officials.

"I will try to save my city Tripoli and 2 millions of people living there ... otherwise Tripoli will be lost forever like Somalia," he wrote. Without a cease-fire, he added, "Soon it will be a sea of blood."

Saadi Gadhafi was one of three sons of the now-hunted Libyan leader who the rebel National Transitional Council announced had been captured during their weekend advance on Tripoli.

However, they said Monday that one of the other two, Mohammed Gadhafi, had escaped. And Saif al-Islam Gadhafi -- a top adviser to his father -- made an appearance before international journalists early Tuesday to refute reports of his arrest.

Where is Libya's leader, and how long can he hold out?

There was no immediate comment from NTC officials on Saadi Gadhafi's status or his offer, made a day after rebel forces overran his father's Bab al-Aziziya compound and claimed control over nearly all of Tripoli. Libyan government officials have made several previous cease-fire offers during the course of the six-month revolt against Gadhafi's 42-year rule.

New York (CNN) -- Almost a decade after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, a new set of remains from the site has been identified, the New York City medical examiner's office announced.

The remains are those of Ernest James, 40, said Ellen Borakove, the spokeswoman for the office.

"The identification is a result of our ongoing efforts," Borakove said in a statement Tuesday.

An IT consultant, James worked with professional services company Marsh & McLennan on the upper levels of the North Tower, according to his fiancée Monique Keyes.

After graduating in computer science from the Borough of Manhattan Community College, James had spent his entire career working in the industry in Manhattan. He had been with Marsh & McLennan for six years, Keyes said.

"He was content, he strived to be good at his job; he enjoyed working," Keyes said.

James was one of almost 300 employees and 63 consultants of the company who died September 11, 2001, when a hijacked airplane crashed into the tower, according to company spokesman Jeremy Lehrman.

A Harlem native, James was an "all-round lovable, fun guy, very vibrant with a great sense of humor," Keyes said of her partner of three years.

Having just returned from a cruise together the week before the attacks, the two were "looking forward to committing to each other, sharing a life together, having a family," she added.

James was survived by his mother and sister, who will receive his remains, Keyes said.

"I'm glad that the identification has arrived at this moment -- at the 10-year anniversary," she said. "I feel like I have some closure."

James' identification brings to 1,632 the number of victims named so far. As many as 1,121 victims still have not been identified, according to the medical examiner's office.

A statement from the office said 2,753 people were reported missing after the towers fell. DNA testing was used to identify the majority of the named victims.

The last set of remains identified from the attacks was in May, the New York Times reported. DNA testing is still ongoing on more than 6,400 samples of remains, the medical examiner's office said.

Two of the summer's longest running transfer sagas were finally concluded when French international Samir Nasri signed for Manchester City whilst winger Juan Mata agreed to leave Valencia for Chelsea.

Nasri -- who signed for Arsenal in 2008 from Olympique Marseille -- signed a four-year deal making him City's fourth big money capture of the summer following the arrival of Gael Clichy, Sergio Aguero and Stefan Savic.

"I think he is a fantastic player because he has technique [and a good] mentality," Manchester City coach Roberto Mancini told the club's official web site.

"I know him from when he played for Marseille because I followed him when I was at Inter...but in the last four years in the Premier League he improved a lot and now I think he's a top player."

The move took place a few hours before an injury-hit Arsenal meet Udinese in a crucial UEFA Champions League second leg qualification match.

The Gunners take a slender 1-0 lead to Italy. If Nasri had played he would have been ineligible to appear in Manchester City's own Champions League campaign, potentially jeopardizing the move until today's signature.

"It's a big relief. It was a long, long negotiation," Nasri said in an interview, also with the club's official web site.

"Now I am city player which is what I wanted from the start."

"I was a little frustrated, I told the [Arsenal] manager [Arsene Wenger] I wanted to leave... Today is a big day for me. It is a new start."

In west London Chelsea announced that they too had signed one of Europe's most coveted wide players with the capture of Spanish international Juan Mata.

The 23 year old -- who has already won 11 caps for the world champions -- trained with the squad and will be available for Saturday's English Premier League match against Norwich City.

"Right from the first moment there have been good feelings all around me," Mata told Chelsea's official web site.

"Valencia was a big club anyway but I have left to join a bigger club and it is all about the opportunity to win trophies and I have that here."
