Panathinaikos sprayed, wiped and ended comfortably with Pegasus! The “greens” comfortably won 3-0 sets in the closed game of Mets of the Polichni team and made it “3 out of 3” in the Volley League by climbing to the top!
Now the “greens” are turning their attention to the sneaky away match against Athlos Orestiada for the 4th matchday of the Volley League, followed by the first European game against Susa in Azerbaijan on November 21 for the Challenge Cup.
The “greens” were not threatened for a single moment by Pegasus and managed to impose their rhythm from the first set with Hernandez, Kovar and Voulkidis playing an excellent match.
In the first set, the visitors found themselves leading 3-0 and 5-2, but Panathinaikos got serious and initially equalized at 6-6. The players of Dimitris Andreopoulos showed their quality and with an important run brought the score to 16-11. Hernandez and Protopsaltis provided solutions to the scoring with Kasambalis also helping in this area and the first set ended with the maximum value of the difference, eight points (25-17).
The picture is similar in the second set, with Pegasus making it difficult for Panathinaikos at the beginning and the hosts reacting and going to +4 (11-7). The pattern remained the same with Panathinaikos maintaining the lead and opening the difference at the most critical point by making it 25-19 and 2-0 in the sets.
The “greens” were not in the mood to get into adventures like in the Pylaia derby and took an early lead with a double score of 14-7. The guests looked for a reaction, but the “clover” continued with determination and took the third set again with +8 (25-17) for the final 3-0.
