Festive qualification for PAOK. The “double-header” swept Mladost 3-0 in Pylaia in the second leg of the CEV Men’s Volleyball ’32’ Cup and, combined with the same-score victory in the first leg in Zagreb last week, solemnly received the “ticket” for the next phase, where he will face the powerful Milan.
In the third set, Mladost started better and led 7-5 and 9-7, but PAOK with a reversal reached 13-11. At 15-13, Den Dries kept PAOK ahead and made it 18-17. With two consecutive block outs by Mouchlia, the “two-headed” made it 21-18 and Van Harderen in the final brought the final 25-20.
