Trailing Hamburg late in the second half, and needing two goals to win their two-leg semifinal, the Cottagers pulled off yet another stunning comeback to book their place in a final few could have seen them playing in.
Goals from Simon Davies and Zoltan Gera helped erase a one-goal deficit and give Fulham a 2-1 victory at Craven Cottage that gave Fulham the semifinal series victory on aggregate.
