Hamburg cut Bayern Munich's lead at the top of the Bundesliga back to four points on Sunday after their Belgian defender Vincent Kompany struck to give them a 1-0 win over Duisburg.
Bayern were held to a 0-0 draw at Borussia Dortmund, so Hamburg's win at Duisburg shaves two points off Munich's lead at the top of the table.
But Hamburg coach Huub Stevens warned against any ideas of Bayern's domination being broken.
"I am still quite sure Bayern will be champions at the end of the season," Stevens said. "We are on the right path, but there is still a long way before Bayern are really threatened."
Bayern boss Ottmar Hitzfeld said his side were below-par after their 3-2 UEFA Cup win at Red Star Belgrade on Thursday night.
"A point at Dortmund is never bad," Hitzfeld said. "Particularly since we were very tired, the game in Belgrade took some of our strength out of us and we were only 70 percent of what we should have been."
While Bayern controlled the first-half, Dortmund dominated the second and missed a string of chances to win the game.
Bayern's best opportunity came when they hit the cross bar twice on 37 minutes: after Argentine defender Martin Demichelis lobbed in a shot from 30m, Klose clipped the bar seconds later.
The home side raised their game after the break as Mladen Petric was left with his head in his hands on the hour mark as his shot flew just over the crossbar.
And moments later midfielder Jakub Blaszczykowski went close on 61 minutes as his shot just missed the target and Florian Kringe also hit the post as Dortmund poured forward.

NO DOUBT: Spurs star Wembanyama was unanimously selected as NBA Rookie of the Year, winning all 99 votes to become the first Frenchman to capture the honor The Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night produced a dominant defensive display to seize a commanding 2-0 lead in their best-of-seven playoff series against the Denver Nuggets with a 106-80 road victory. The third-seeded Timberwolves harassed Denver relentlessly to claim a second straight win over the NBA champions as the series heads back to Minneapolis for Game 3 on Friday. Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards scored 27 points apiece, but the star of the show was Minnesota’s suffocating defensive effort, which knocked Denver out of their stride almost from the tip-off.
