“Cleaned up” Aris and Panathinaikos finished fourth

by

Panathinaikos defeated Aris 3-1 in Thessaloniki in the fourth and final quarter-final of the Women’s Volleyball Cup and advanced to F4 of the Women’s Volleyball Cup, possibly awaiting a derby in the semi-finals.

Aris made the upset in the first set, with Panathinaikos consistently leading the score until 17-21, but the “yellows” reacted and, with Tsoumba as the protagonist, made it 25-23.

From the second set onwards, Yannis Kalmazidis’ athletes raised their performance, gained a significant difference and did not give Aris the right to claim anything more.

However, Thessaloniki protested for two phases in the fourth set. The first was at 21-23 with Anthouli’s attack, which they considered to be out, and the second at 22-24 for the wrong positions of the Panathinaikos athletes, which were not given.

1st set: 5-8, 13-16, 17-21, 25-23
