He bent in the final and Finikas was eliminated

Foinikas Syros, who was defeated in the golden set (13-15) by Leuven and was eliminated from the “16” of the CEV Cup, failed to complete the epic upset.

The Syrians needed a 3-0 or 3-1 victory to qualify for the “golden set”, after the “clear” victory of the Belgians in the first match.

So they did, even though the match started wrong. The guests took the first set with 25-21, but Finikas remained alive making it 3-1, comfortably taking the sets with 25-17, 25-15 and 25-17.

In the golden set, however, the Belgians picked up the pace again, kept the reins of the score and cleared the match with 15-13.
