Porto went into Tuesday's second leg with a 1-0 lead, but they were 3-0 down inside 34 minutes after a Tonny Vilhena goal three minutes in and a Shapi Suleymanov double.
Second-half goals from Ze Luis and Luis Diaz were not enough for the Portuguese giants to survive after they made the quarter-finals last season:
Sasha Goryunov @SlasherrrrWow! Quite the upset @ the Dragão, where FC Krasnodar, trailing 1-0 from the 1st leg, won 3-2 to knock Porto out of #UCL! 3-0 up after 33 mins (19 y.o. Shapi Suleymanov with another cracking finish), they survived a late Porto fight back & will face Olympiacos next. https://t.co/bVMeFmrVsc
They will be absent from the Champions League proper for the first time since 2010.
Celtic, meanwhile, suffered a torrid second half on Tuesday to end their hopes of reaching the group stage of this season's Champions League.
After a 1-1 draw in the first leg, Cluj edged in front in the first half at Celtic Park with a header from Cirpian Deac.
The tie was still in the balance with 45 minutes to go, though, and goals from James Forrest in the 51st minute and Odsonne Edouard just after the hour put the hosts back in front.
Billel Omrani's 74th-minute penalty gave Cluj the lead on away goals before Ryan Christie netted two minutes later.
But late goals from Omrani and George Tucudean sealed a terrible night for the Scottish giants:
Celtic now drop into the UEFA Europa League play-offs, while Cluj are just a victory over Slavia Prague away from the Champions League group stage.
Ajax, meanwhile, will face Apoel Nicosia after two penalties from Dusan Tadic and a Nicolas Tagliafico goal saw them to a 3-2 win over PAOK in Amsterdam.
