Hamburg - Paolo Guerrero scored twice and Ivica Olic the other as SV Hamburg fought from 2-0 down to a 3-2 triumph at Galatasaray Istanbul for a place in the UEFA Cup quarter-finals. Galatasaray led from Harry Kewell's penalty and Milan Baros, but Guerrero's double in the 57th and 60th and Olic in the 89th turned the tide.
Hamburg won the round of 16 tie 4-3 from both games, ending Galatasaray's dream of playing in the May 20 final in their home town of Istanbul.
"This is a special day for us. We are delighted with the win," said Guerrero.
It was a bad night for UEFA Cup champions overall as the 2000 winners Galatasaray were joined as casualties by holders Zenit St Petersburg and fellow-Russian 2005 winners CSKA Moscow.
Dynamo Kiev also advanced on Thursday, while Werder Bremen and Olympique Marseille made the last eight the previous day.
The winners of Aalborg vs Manchester City and Braga vs Paris St Germain were due to complete the lineup for Friday's quarter- and semi-final draw later on Thursday.
Galatasaray started slowly into the match with Hamburg but took the lead in the 42nd minute from Kewell's penalty after Jerome Boateng had brought down Baros in the area.
The hosts seemed assured of the next round when Baros chipped over goalkeeper Frank Rost for 2-0 in the 48th, but Guerrero then blasted home from 20m and scored the 2-2 equalizer on the hour from closer range after rounding two defenders.
Olic got the late winner after Hamburg captain David Jarolim was denied by the left posta few minutes earlier.
"We shouldn't have lost such a match, it was our own fault," admitted Galatasaray midfielder Baris Ozbek.
Hamburg coach Martin Jol said: "Paolo scored two wonderful goals. We knew that Galatasaray would become nervous if we scored."
In St Petersburg, Zenit lacked the flair and attacking power of the past season as they were unable to rebound from the two-goal defeat in Udine.
Captain Anatoliy Tymoshckuk broke the deadlock in the 29th minute with a header off Viktor Fayzulin's corner but Zenit then tried in vain to get the vital second goal, with Fayzulin aiming high from point-blank range.
At the same time CSKA had to bow to Donetsk and its Brazilians. Fernandinho put the hosts ahead with a 54th-minute penalty after being fouled by Pavel Mameev and Luiz Adriano's close range effort 16 minutes later saw Shakhtar through.
Ukraine joined Germany with two teams in the quarter-finals as Dynamo Kiev won a Ukrainian duel with Metalist Kharkiv on away goals from a 3-3 overall deadlock after Metalist won 3-2 on the night.
Valentyn Sliusar (29th), Brazilian striker Jaja with a freekick in the 56th and Argentina's Walter Anibal Acevedo in the 70th were on target for the hosts.
But Croatian Goran Sabljic in 68th and Serbian substitute Milos Ninkovic with a low shot in the 79th minute saw Kiev through on away goals the second straight time after eliminating Spain's Valencia in the same way in the previous round.
