Hamburg  - Germany's SV Hamburg were unable to overcome a 10-man Galatasaray in a 1-1 draw in the first leg of UEFA Cup's last 16 on Thursday.

The Turkish side, who won the competition in 2000, had Emre Asik sent off in the 53rd minute for a professional foul on Mladen Petric.

The dismissal came four minutes after Marcell Jansen had levelled a 32nd-minute goal from captain Ayhan Akman.

Collin Benjamin came close to a winner for the Bundesliga side with a shot headed off the line and onto the bar by Mehmet Guven.

The visitors then survived late scares when Piotr Trochowski blasted over the bar from a good position, and substitute Ivica Olic fired narrowly wide of the post with the clock ticking down.

But the Turkish side defended solidly to return to Istanbul with a draw they will be pleased with for the second leg next Thursday.

Elsewhere, tournament top scorer Vagner Love notched his 11th of the campaign with a penalty five minutes after the break to give 2005 winners CSKA Moscow a 1-0 victory over Ukraine outfit Shakhtar Donetsk.

In an all-Ukrainian duel, Dynamo Kiev edged Mealist Kharkiv thanks a 54th-minute winner from Ognjen Vukojevic.

Five other matches were being played later. (dpa)
