Golden set win for LYON to move on to Challenge Cup quarter-finals
2016 CEV Volleyball Challenge Cup - Men
Lyon, France, January 27, 2016. Last week when they played their first matchup with Romania’s C.S. Arcada GALATI, France’s ASUL LYON Métropole could not perform their best as they were missing their star player, Bulgarian-born opposite Vladimir Nikolov. This time around, however, they did so and cruised to a 3-0 win to make amends for their away loss before claiming the golden set that followed as well, thus securing their progression to the quarter-finals of the 2016 CEV Volleyball Challenge Cup – Men.
ASUL LYON Métropole could count on their complete roster for the re-match with GALATI and they easily claimed the opening set by a landslide 25-15. The second set was some kind of drama with both teams fighting through to the end and this section of the game was finished only after 47 minutes at 47-45 for the home side. LYON came from behind to win also the third set (25-22) and after that cruised to a 15-10 win in the golden set that followed to move on to the quarter-finals of the competition.
