Uefa Cup round-up: Werder Bremen moved a step closer to a Uefa Cup semi-final place with a 3-1 home win over Udinese in the first leg of their last-eight clash.

It looked like being even more comfortable for the Bundesliga outfit — a brace from Diego (34 and 67) and a Hugo Almeida effort (69) putting them 3-0 up.

But Fabio Quagliarella pulled one back three minutes from time to give the Italians a glimmer of hope.

Shakhtar Donetsk hold the upper hand against Marseille following a 2-0 first-leg win in Ukraine.

Tomas Hubschman and Jadson scored the goals either side of half-time, although things might have been different had Mamadou Niang’s shot gone in instead of rebounding off the inside of the far post when the game was still goalless.

And there was frustration for the other French side in the competition as Paris St Germain were held to a goalless draw at home by Dynamo Kiev.
