German term or phrase: für sich gewinnen
XX konnte YY, eines der führenden Internetportale in Europa, für sich gewinnen!

Die Zusammmenarbeit umfasst unter anderem Softwareleistungen, Content-Services und VAS-Dienste.

Headline of a very short text about a collaboration of two Internet portals.

I feel that "XX could win YYY - one of the leading Internet portals - over!" sounds quite clumsy...

Any ideas?
