Hamburg all but booked their spot in the next round of the UEFA Cup after grabbing a comfortable 3-1 victory at FC Zurich in the first leg of their last-32 tie.

David Jarolim opened the scoring in the 49th minute before Ivica Olic doubled the advantage in the 67th. Piotr Trochowski joined the scorers with 77 minutes gone before Zurich pulled one back just before the end through Eric Hassli.
