An unrecognizable for the better Pegasus defeated 3-1 sets in Thessaloniki over Foinikas Syros in the match that ended the ninth matchday of the Men’s Volleyball League and surpassed the “pirates” by +2 in the standings, climbing to fifth place and achieving his third victory in this year’s championship.
Pegasus did two big flips. In the first set, he found himself trailing 23-24, but rallied and, after overtime, took the set 35-33 thanks to Mavrovouniotis’ attack and Pohanis’ error.
Upheaval for Pegasus in the second set from 4-9, but also in the fourth, where Phoenix led 24-22, but Pegasus “turned” the score. The Polichni team with a 4-0 streak brought the “up and down” and took the victory with 26-24 and 3-1 sets.
It should be noted that Foinikas competed with Petsias as the main passer and Sonakis as the libero.
The first scorer was Barbounis with 28, followed by Koutsomytis with 17 points. The first scorer of Pegasus was Milis with 17, followed by Mavrovouniotis with 16 and Kapetanidis with 13 points.
