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.
Fenerbahce on Thursday earned a rare 2-1 win in England, but were still knocked out of the UEFA Europa League by Nottingham Forest in the playoffs. Forest entered the second leg with a healthy 3-0 lead from the opener in Istanbul — where Vitor Pereira made an impact in his first game in charge — and that proved enough to advance to the round-of-16 with a 4-2 aggregate score. The result was a boost for Forest, struggling at 17th place in the Premier League, in their return to Europe after three decades. They next face Real Betis Balompie or Kerem Akturkoglu gave Fenerbahce
