It did not succeed against Targoviste (1-3 sets) and Olympiacos bid farewell to the CEV Women’s Cup in the quarterfinals.

Very good game from the Romanians, who played excellently almost throughout the match. The “red and white” are now focusing on Sunday’s game against PAOK and the Greek championship.
