OFI has a pulse! The Cretans prevailed in Crete 3-0 against Pegasus Polichnis and reduced the gap from Athlos Orestiada to 4 points, continuing to hope for survival. Official “first” for Nikos Antoniadis on the bench of OFI, after the removal of Kostas Delikostas!
Aristotelis Skydras will be welcomed by the Cretans the following matchday, with Athlos Orestiadas in Polichni, Pegasos will face off, which is not in immediate danger of relegation.
In the competitive part, OFI entered strongly and managed to take a big lead with “good morning” in the first set with 11-4. Pegasus was temporarily down to 11-8, but the home team continued with excellent blocking and took the first set comfortably 25-15.
In the second set, OFI continued at the same pace with Giumaka being the main protagonist. The Cretans again took a five-point lead 14-9 with the Thessaloniki team reacting by reducing to four (15-11). However, the team of Nikos Antoniadis was not affected and with a terrible demarcation made it 2-0 in the sets with 25-17.
The start of the third set was different, with Pegasus entering strongly and taking the lead for the first time in the match. OFI reacted again by equalizing, at the moment when Mileis was keeping Sdraukakis’ team alive! The hosts did not give up for a moment in the game, which took the form of a derby and after 17-17 they escaped by winning 27-25.
