Rookies ZAWIERCIE need two sets to secure #CEVChallengeCupM quarterfinal spot
CEV Volleyball Challenge Cup 2020 - Men
Zawiercie, Poland, February 11, 2020. On Wednesday, February 12 at 16:00 CET (18:00 local time), Spor Toto SC ANKARA will face Aluron Virtu CMC ZAWIERCIE in the second leg of the CEV Challenge Cup 2020 – Men 8th Finals. The Jurassic Knights need to win two sets to reach the quarterfinals of the competition in what is their maiden appearance in the European Cups. If Spor Toto win 3-0 or 3-1, the Golden Set played to 15 points will determine the side progressing to the next round.
In the first match two weeks ago in Dąbrowa Górnicza, the Yellow-and-Greens did not give the Turkish team a chance. The hosts looked truly dominant as they stormed to a comprehensive 25-13, 25-11 and 25-19 win. “We do not expect them to lay down their arms in Turkey. It should be a much tougher game,” warns Piotr Lipiński, Aluron Virtu CMC ZAWIERCIE experienced setter.
Spor Toto SC ANKARA had the opportunity to regroup in their national league. Last weekend, the team around head coach Serdar Uslu defeated TOKAT Belediye Plevne 3-0 and thus returned to third place in the standing of the AXA Sigorta Efeler Ligi. All three wing-spikers played extremely well, namely Australian opposite Lincoln Williams as well as the two outside hitters from South America, Argentinean Nicolas Bruno and Brazilian Leozinho, the brightest character of Spor Toto team in Dąbrowa Górnicza.
