Maybe so far o Panathinaikos had not lost a single set in the first four games of this year’s Volley League, however o PAOK with an awesome look and strength from the service, he got a great win with 3-0 sets in the “Palataki”!
The Thessalonians leave behind the defeat of last week from Olympiakos to Rentis, while of course for Panathinaikos that showed weaknesses, the absence of Thanasis Protopsaltis who was not left out of the mission due to injury, cost him.
So after today’s game for the 5th game of the championship, the PAOK reached 10 the grades, Panathinaikos 12 and so Olympiakos has the opportunity tomorrow if it overcomes the obstacle of Milonas, to pass alone first at the top of the standings.
The “clover” entered strongly in the first set (2-7), but the “black and whites” quickly collected the ((13-13, 17-17) with a weapon their block. The hosts went ahead for the first time (23-22), with Dan Driss making a mistake on the serve, Petreas blocking him afterwards and the “biceps of the north” making it 1-0 (25-23).
The second set was again a derby, with PAOK finding solutions again from its block, at a time when Panathinaikos was facing a problem with the transfer of the ball from the reception to the attack. A wrong attack by Andreopoulos was the one that made it 2-0 for Thessaloniki (25-23).
After the initial 4-4 in the third set, Koumentakis and Brown sent the difference to +3 for the hosts (11-8, 14-11). Panathinaikos may temporarily reduce with Rangel (15-14), but PAOK took a huge lead (19-14). The “greens” could not close the gap and the bad service of Andreopoulos gave the positive result to the team of Kalmazidis.
The sets are 3-0 (25-23, 25-23, 25-20)
