Fulham captain Danny Murphy was happy with the way his side contained Hamburg.
"They're a good side with great attacking players and we knew they'd come at us," he said.
"We talked about keeping our shape and other than two saves in the last 15-20 minutes we had a reasonably comfortable night. With a bit more quality on the break we might have had a chance ourselves.
"I knew we would have to be organised, they have good attacking players, we've seen that on the videos, and we knew if we kept our shape we would have a few chances on the counter attack.
"Mark made a few good saves but when you come away from home at this stage of the competition you know you're going to be under pressure."
